Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

While I was writing the recipe for the first Shrimp Cocktail I remembered this variation of the classic Appetizer. This is one of those Addictive dishes that are great on a hot day or just whenever you want a light meal.


Clamato Tomato Clam Juice                                             12 oz.
Small Cooked Shrimp (Peeled and Deveined)                2 ½ Lbs.
Prepared Horse Radish                                                       2 oz.
Ketchup                                                                              2 oz.
Tobasco Sauce                                                                    1 oz.
Lime Juice                                                                          2 oz.
Cilantro Chopped                                                               1 Bunch
Green Bell Pepper    Small Diced                                      1 ea.
Cucumber  Small Dice (Peeled and Seeded)                     1 ea.               
 Medium  Red Onion Fine Diced                                       1 ea.
Avocado   Diced                                                                  1 ea. 

      
*Lime Salt                                                                        As Needed
Lime Wheel                                                                    4 ea.

     Combine all of the ingredients except for the Avocado, Salt and Lime Wheels in a mixing bowl.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to develop.  Prepare four Sunday / Milkshake glasses by moistening the rims of the glasses with water and salting the rims like a Margarita.  Carefully add the avocado to the shrimp mixture and spoon equal parts into the glasses.  Cut a slit half way through each Lime wheel and place on the rim of each glass. Serve chilled.  Makes 4 Servings. Serve with Crackers or Tortilla Chips.

* Lime salt is the kind of salt used for Margaritas; you can find it at most Grocery stores and Liquor stores.  Lime wheels are made by slicing a lime into 1/8 inch slices slicing from tip to tip.
