Great substitute for normal shrimp cocktail. Great for doing ahead. Next may add more red pepper and pepper sauce for more spice.

I thought the ingredients used were well balanced and not overpowered with tartness. However, I did modify this recipe to a more Latin taste, by serving this on guacamole topped Tostitos mini bowl chips. I substituted catsup for the tomato paste, reducing the sugar to 1 teaspoon, resulting in the same effective sweetness. I also substituted green onions/scallions for the regular onion and added fresh chopped cilantro to the marinade. I placed the guacamole in the chip bowl, topped it with the shrimp and garnished it with a sprig of cilantro.
