Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Seafood Shrimp Mexican Shrimp Cocktail 4.7 (409) 337 Reviews 70 Photos This shrimp cocktail recipe is similar to one I first tried in San Antonio. I could never find a recipe that recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with the perfect combination of ingredients. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!
