Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Cóctel de Camarones)

Description:
This Mexican Shrimp Cocktail is a refreshing, zesty seafood dish bursting with vibrant flavors! Juicy shrimp are tossed in a tangy tomato-lime sauce with avocado, cilantro, onions, and jalapeños — like a cross between ceviche and cocktail sauce. It’s light, satisfying, and perfect for summer or as a party appetizer.
