OK I starting to get to my posting limit:emoji_wink: One last one. After finding 2 bags of shrimp I did not know I had and have 2 new bags I needed to start getting these ate up and this a great way to do it. I bring a pot of water to boil and add some crab boil. I add the shrimp take off the heat and wait 10 minutes. Shrimp nicely cooked and seasoned.

⅓ cup Spanish onion, chopped
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 pound chilled cooked medium shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 cucumber, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 ½ cups chilled tomato and clam juice cocktail (such as Clamato®)
1 cup chilled ketchup (such as Heinz®)
1 bunch fresh cilantro - stems discarded and leaves chopped
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and chopped

You did a real good job on that.
 
Holy cow.... all that fits inside that glass?
 
I halved the recipe and still have enough for another one today.
Gotcha. Honestly, my first thought was toss in a healthy dose of tater juice and that would be some kind of killer bloody Mary, or I suppose Maria?
 
Heck ya Brian!! I'm doing this today if I can find the things needed in this tiny burg I'm staying at. Looks and sounds awesome!

That looks like a WICKED Bloody Mary to me now!
 
Well Brian, you've gone and combined two of my favorite food groups: shrimp cocktail and Mexican food. What's not to love? That sounds amazing buddy.

In San Antonio, and other places, it's called a campechana. I make ours with oysters (if in season) shrimp and maybe crawfish tails. Mixed in with pico de gallo, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and sliced avocados.
