MARGARITA SHRIMP COCKTAIL



Margarita Shrimp Cocktail image

Wow... this is amazing! It's a cross between a shrimp cocktail and Mexican salsa. We were a little unsure of the mango and avocado pairing but it was fabulous. The shrimp soak up the flavors from the horseradish, onions, and jalapeno. This will be great to bring to a party or to have for a snack on a relaxing evening home.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 jar(s) jars of salsa (16 oz each)
2 Tbsp hot sauce
2 to 4 Tbsp prepared horseradish to taste (we actually like 6 to 8)
1/4 c chopped jalapenos (from a jar)
1 good sized fist-full of cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch salt
1/2 c diced red onion
3 medium roma tomatoes, diced
1 large peeled and chopped mango
1/2 lb frozen popcorn sized shrimp, peeled and deviened
1 or 2 large avocados, chopped
4 Tbsp lime juice
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
  • 2. Toss in tomatoes, onions, mango, and shrimp.
  • 3. Chop avocado and toss with lime juice. Leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. This will slow down the browning process of the avocado.
  • 4. Add avocado lime juice to mixture and toss.
  • 5. Serve with tortilla chips.
  • 6. **NOTE** For a very impressive presentation, I like to serve this in a margarita glass placed on top of a dessert sized plate with some of the avocado mixed in and some sprinkled on top. A lime wedge on the edge of the glass and tortilla chips around the plate. Makes a great appetizer for a dinner party or a great dip for a big party!

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield 26

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lb medium shrimp with shells (26 to 30 shrimp)
4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups dry white wine or nonalcoholic wine
2 tablespoons lime juice
5 black peppercorns
Handful of fresh cilantro
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons tequila, if desired
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Dash of red pepper sauce

Steps:

  • Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails intact. Set shells aside for the stock. Using a small, pointed knife or shrimp deveiner, make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp, then wash out the vein.
  • In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat shrimp shells, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt to boiling over high heat. Add wine, 2 tablespoons lime juice, the peppercorns and handful of cilantro. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 30 minutes.
  • Strain stock through strainer into large bowl and discard shells, peppercorns and cilantro. Return stock to same pan and heat to boiling over high heat. Add shrimp; remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes until shrimp are pink and firm.
  • Meanwhile, fill large bowl half full with ice and water. Strain stock through strainer and plunge shrimp into ice bath. (Strain stock over large bowl if you want to keep for another purpose.) Shrimp can be refrigerated in ice water for several hours.
  • In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. (Don't use aluminum bowl because the acid in the sauce may react.) Stir in cooked shrimp to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 3 hours. (After 3 hours the acid in the sauce causes the shrimp to become chewy.) Serve cold.
