Shrimp Cocktail 😋

Super easy and filling!

You can either use raw shrimp and cook them, or precooked shrimp.

I use raw shrimp and cook them myself. First you need to clean the shrimp and then I cut them up into bite size pieces. You will then get a pot of water, add some salt, lime juice and a couple bag leaves and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add your shrimp and then stir. The shrimp will be done super quick, less than 2 mins, but just make sure to check them and try not to over cook!

Once the shrimp is done, set aside to cook, and I chop all the vegetables. I use cucumber, red onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and you can add jalapeños or serranos depending on how spicy you want it.

Once everything is cut and the shrimp is cooled, start to add everything together. Then add Clamato juice, and ketchup and stir around. Then season to your liking.
