I first tried something similar to this in San Antonio and could never find a recipe that really recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with this. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!

Steps:
- Thaw corn. Pan fry the corn in a non-stick skillet until it begins to brown. Seed and thinly slice the peppers. I used jalapeño peppers. Thinly slice the scallions and chop the chives and cilantro. Cool the corn and mix with the peppers, scallions, cilantro, and chives. Chill the corn mixture.
- Place the shrimp in a large skillet. Add two tablespoons lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and two tablespoons hot sauce. Add two cups of water. Cover and simmer until the shrimp are pink. (about 5 minutes).
- Stir the shrimp at least once while they simmer. Drain and cool the shrimp. Refrigerate the shrimp for one hour or until they are chilled.
- In a blender combine the tomato juice, tequila, teaspoon of hot sauce, remaining lemon juice, chives, cumin, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix, and black pepper. Chill until ready to serve. Note- I used the Original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix.
- Rim four chilled cocktail glasses with salt. Spoon the corn mixture in the bottom of each glass followed by a layer of avocado. Arrange the shrimp around the inner rims of the cocktail glasses. Carefully pour the juice mixture int the center of each glass. Garnish with lime slices.

Tips:
- Keep it fresh: Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Try different combinations of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices to create a shrimp cocktail that's unique and flavorful.
- Make it a party: Shrimp cocktail is a great party appetizer. Serve it in individual glasses or on a platter with toothpicks for easy eating.
Conclusion:
Shrimp cocktail is a classic appetizer that's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make, customizable, and delicious. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a light lunch or dinner, shrimp cocktail is sure to be a hit.
