Mexican Shrimp Cocktail is a healthy and delicious dish with chilled shrimp in tomato sauce with cucumber, avocado and cilantro. Serve cold with tortilla chips for a festive appetizer or a quick weeknight meal.
While we were there my cousin's friend, Danielle, made this wonderful shrimp cocktail as a pre-dinner appetizer one evening and everyone loved it! I found the original Coctel de Camarones recipe that looked similar, so I used it as a guide and created the version I am sharing today!
