PRAWN & AVOCADO COCKTAIL

Prawn & Avocado Cocktail image

This is my favourite appetizer especially at Christmas. It is really easy to make also. Amounts are a bit give and take depending on tastes and whether you like lots of sauce (which I do) etc. I haven't yet tried it with brandy, but have heard it is nice. Will be trying this year.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)

Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) image

I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!
