This Coctel de Camarones is a refreshing Mexican shrimp cocktail made with cooked shrimp, creamy avocado, lime juice, and a zesty tomato-based sauce using V8. Serve cold with saltine crackers or tortilla chips for an easy no-cook appetizer that’s perfect for parties, holidays, or hot summer days.
Stir together the ketchup, vegetable juice, horseradish, lime juice, hot sauce, and garlic powder until well combined. Taste and add more chile or hot sauce if you would like it spicier.
Add the onion, jalapeno (if using), cilantro, and shrimp and mix well. Gently stir in the avocado.
Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
Serve in 4-ounce glasses with saltine crackers or corn tortilla chips.
