ATK Cóctel De Camarón (Mexican Shrimp Cocktail)
Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ pounds large shrimp (26 to 30 per pound), peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt, plus salt for cooking shrimp
  • 1 cup V8 juice, chilled
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice (2 limes), plus lime wedges for serving
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce, plus extra for serving
  • ½ English cucumber, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Saltines
  • subheading: BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
  • We prefer untreated shrimp, but if your shrimp are treated with salt or additives such as sodium tripolyphosphate, do not add the salt in step 1. The balanced flavor of Valencia, Cholula, or Tapatío hot sauce works best here. If using a spicier, vinegary hot sauce such as Tabasco, start with half the amount called for and adjust to your taste after mixing. Saltines are a traditional accompaniment, but tortilla chips or thick-cut potato chips are also good. Serve this dish as an appetizer or light meal.
