Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Thoroughly clean and devein the tiger shrimp. Ensure that the shells are intact for presentation. You may choose to leave the tails on for a more elegant look.

    Cut the Citrus

    Cut the lemon and lime into wedges for garnish.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Add the Sauce

    Place a small bowl of cocktail sauce in the center of the shrimp blossom for dipping.

  3. 7

    Finish with Pico de Gallo

    Spoon the pico de gallo over the shrimp or serve it on the side for added freshness.

  4. 8
