Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

I love the zesty Mexican flavours of this prawn cocktail. Make the salad first then top each glass up with tomato chilli sauce.

Prep time:
30 mins + chilling
Serves:
8-12 as a starter
  • 1kg/2lb ripe tomatoes, peeled and cored, or 4 cups tomato juice
  • 2 long red chillies, deseeded and coarsely chopped
  • finely grated zest of 2 limes
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 600g/1¼lb cooked prawns/shrimps, finely chopped
  • flesh of 2 large just-ripe avocados, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • ½ telegraph cucumber or 1 large lebanese cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
  • ¼ cup chopped coriander/cilantro leaves
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • lime cheeks, to serve
  • hot chilli sauce, such as sriracha or tabasco, to serve

Combine tomatoes or tomato juice, chillies, lime zest and juice and salt in a food processor. Whizz until smooth. Cover and chill for up to 2 days until ready to serve.

To serve, mix prawns/shrimp, avocado, onion, cucumber and coriander/cilantro in a bowl. Divide between 8 tall tumblers or 12 small jars or glasses. Divide chilled tomato mixture over the top and swirl with a fork to combine. Season with pepper and serve accompanied by lime cheeks and chilli sauce so everyone can flavor up their own to taste.
