I used to order this regularly at my favorite Mexican restaurant. After much experimentation, this is a very close version. They serve it in a fish bowl type glass and even though I classified it as an appetizer...It is a meal in itself!

Not my favorite. The shrimp were tough and the sauce was too thick.

This shrimp cocktail was just okay. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the sauce was a little bland. I think I would have liked it more if the shrimp had been grilled instead of boiled.

Easy and delicious! I made this for a party and it was a hit. The shrimp were so tender and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This shrimp cocktail is a real winner! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I loved the addition of the avocado and cucumber, which added a refreshing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
