The quantities in the video were cut in half for 2 servings.

Ingredients
1 pound large uncooked shrimp cleaned and peeled
5 cups water for cooking shrimp
Salt to taste
1 1/4 cups ketchup I used a spicy ketchup
1 1/4 cups Clamato juice
2 cups English cucumber diced
1 to 2 serranos minced
2 roma tomatoes seeded, diced
1/3 cup white onion finely diced
1/3 cup cilantro chopped, plus more for garnish
1 large avocado diced
Juice of 3 to 4 key limes
Salt and pepper to taste
Valentina or Tapatio hot sauce to taste
Saltine crackers or tostadas

Instructions

Poach the shrimp in boiling, salted water for just 2 minutes or until they turn pink. Drain and transfer shrimp to a bowl of ice water, set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients in the order listed. Taste for salt, pepper and hot sauce. Drain the chilled shrimp and add to the sauce mixture. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving. Serve with saltine crackers, garnish with more cilantro.

Notes
During the summer, I like to add a few fresh fruits to my coctel de camarones. Mango, peaches and jicama are a tasty addition to garnish you Mexican shrimp cocktail!
