If you’ve never had Mexican Style Shrimp Cocktail you are really missing out! I call that “FOMO” Fear Of Missing Out (insert wink).
This shrimp cocktail is full of big pieces of fresh vegetables and herbs with bloody mary roasted shrimp. I used Cocktail Artist Premium Bloody Mary Mix and some lime juice to marinade the shrimp for about 5 minutes while my oven was warming up. I love this bloody mary mix because it’s bold and a bit spicy and not too hot. In just 5 minutes, it gave the shrimp a wonderful spicy hint of flavor which it needed as the base for this shrimp cocktail recipe.
Once you’ve roasted the shrimp, the rest is easy. Simply chop up the ingredients, mix them together, chill for 2 hours and serve. Seriously, can any dish that looks this good and tastes this fantastic be that easy? Yes -it’s that easy. I like to serve this dish is fun drink glasses with tortilla chips. It’s a party on your table and in your mouth.

I can’t wait to make this! Love the idea of adding Bloody Mary mix for extra flavor. I might make guacamole dip and add a spoonful of this shrimp cocktail on top!
Oh wow! Guac with Bloody Mary Mix – sounds really good!
I really wish I could have two or three of these with a little side car of vodka right about now! Sigh…Mondays.
