Ingredients
-
1 cup clam juice
-
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
1 ¼ cups peeled, seeded, diced ripe tomatoes
-
1 cup diced English cucumber
-
½ cup diced celery
-
½ cup finely diced red onion
-
2 tablespoons seeded and diced jalapeno peppers
-
½ cup ketchup
-
2 medium limes, juiced
-
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
-
1 dash Mexican-style hot sauce
-
1 large Hass avocado, cubed
Directions
-
Bring clam juice and oregano to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook and stir just until shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. (They will not be cooked through.) Transfer shrimp to a bowl with a slotted spoon; let cool to room temperature. Reserve liquid.
-
While the shrimp are cooling, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, onion, and jalapeños in a mixing bowl. Gently mix in reserved cooking liquid, ketchup, lime juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and hot sauce until well combined.
-
Place four whole shrimp in a small bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Chop remaining shrimp into bite-sized pieces; add to vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate both bowls until thoroughly chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
-
When ready to serve, stir avocado into the shrimp cocktail. Divide into four glass bowls; top each with a chilled whole shrimp and garnish with cilantro.
Chef's Notes
You can substitute 1 1/4 cups of quartered cherry tomatoes for the diced tomatoes.
If the chilled mixture seems a bit thick in Step 4, stir in a little tomato juice or pickle juice.
