Smoked Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

[SmokinEdge]

This is a tasty little summer fun meal, or side dish.
Shrimp. We use large Tiger prawn 6/8ct. For the rim, and use Argentinean shrimp for the soup. These are naturally buttery in flavor and also remind you of langoustine (lobster).

Tiger prawns

marinate all shrimp in EVO, tequila, lime juice and a little beer, and red chile powder. No salt.

Argentinean shrimp 16ct. A full pound (16oz.)
Large prawns, U-6 or 8 best (we are using 6/8ct.) 1-2 pounds
we will use here 12oz. Of Clamato, and 12oz. Of Original V-8 juice.
1 medium white onion diced
2 medium avocado, small chunked
about 4 medium garlic cloves, smashed and minced
about 2 medium/ large slicing tomatoes (out of the garden sends this to another level)
1 serrano Chile pepper minced
about 6oz of Hatch roasted and diced green Chile.
Half of a small bunch of cilantro minced
1 cucumber diced
1-2 tsp cumin
1-2 tsp chicken bouillon
2 large limes juiced.

Grill the shrimp over apple wood and charcoal.

Cover the big prawns with foil on a plate to keep warm.
Chop Argentinean shrimp For the soup.

Mix all ingredients ( no large prawns) in a bowl and chill

Then presentation with large smoked prawns.

Looks delicious! Up here it is almost impossible to score any langoustines. I have one bag left. I might give this a try. Thanks for posting.

DANG! This is right up my alley. Each ingredient made the dish sound better.
Ive not heard of Argentine Shrimp before. They sound fantastic. I'm pretty sure Asian Farmed Frozen Shrimp are the only thing available locally, although Walmart sometimes carries smaller Gulf Shrimp...JJ
