Mexican Cocktail Appetizer


Shrimp, Avocado, Jalepeno & Cilantro with a Secret Sauce?
just call it a Mouth Party!
YUMM!

Mexican Cocktail Appetizer
recipe found {here}

Ingredients: Shrimp, Avocados, Fresh Cilantro, Lime (soda!), 
Ketchup, Salt, Black Pepper, Tomatoes, Onion, Jalapeno Peppers, Limes 

I hosted Supper Club last week, and I was a frantic hot mess before hand, running around my house like a chicken with it's head cut off, and I had no time to actually read the recipe, so I just went for it!


put the shrimp in a bowl.

cube the avocado (i cut it in squares in the peel, then scoop it all out with a spoon)
dice up cilantro, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, 

i put it all in a bowl and mixed

squeezed an entire lime over it

time for some Secret Sauce!

pour a can of lime soda in a bowl

add 12 oz, or whatever about a 5th of a 50 oz, bottle of ketchup looks like.. :)

add salt and pepper and whisk

ready to build the cocktail

layer of shrimp (take the tails off!! oops :)

ready to layer.
{not shown: set aside cilantro leaves to sprinkle on top}
put layer of avocado/pico de gallo mix

pour the secret sauce over the first layer of shrimp and avocado
add another thin layer of shrimp/mix
top with cilantro

Voila!
It was so.good.  And so easy and fast to make.

I went a little heavy with the sauce in the cocktail, I'll probably use less today.. when I make them AGAIN!
  

Fun.  Easy.  Spicy.  NO COOKING required.





 I'm just entering the cooking world but I'm coming in fast and furious!  
If you've made this and have any tips or tricks, please do let me know.  
I need to build my skillz!
