Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together the lime juice, ketchup, and hot sauce to your desired spice level. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the shrimp have cooled, chop them into bite-sized pieces and add to the cocktail sauce. Gently fold in the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve in a glass or bowl with crackers on the side.
