Coctel de Camaron is popular in costal regions throughout Mexico. It is the perfect “Antojito“. Served as an appetizer or light entree this spicy seafood cocktail is way more interesting than your typical shrimp cocktail.

Our recipe below is the exact recipe used at one of the best restaurants in Southern California. They make the “base” ahead of time and toss it together with shrimp and avocado when needed.
