Mexican Shrimp Cocktail Directions
- If you are using uncooked shrimp, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over hight heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Immediately drain the shrimp and let cool
- For cooked shrimp, or frozen like I like to use, just let them thaw in cold water
- In a large bowl, combine the ketchup, lime juice, wiocestershire sauce, maggi or soy sauce, and olive oil. Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Add the onion, chile, olives, tomato, parsley, cilantro, oregano and salt, mix gently until well blended.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours
- When ready to serve, stir in the avocado, serve with tortilaa chips or saltines
