Reviews
Too sweet and bland. Made as directed except cut ingredient amounts in half. Still makes a lot. The soda makes it way too sweet. Also, it needs some spiciness or something to add flavor. Might try again with fresh orange juice instead of the soda, and tomato paste instead of the ketchup. Maybe add some jalapeno peppers or a dash of cayenne, something to liven it up a bit.
We are very picky with our Mexican shrimp cocktail when we eat out. Thought we’d try making it at home. We followed thIs recipe exactly, and it turned out great!
Authentic and fresh tasting. My husband has a critical palate for Mexican food and he gave this shrimp cocktail recipe a thumbs up.
