Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp and Vegetables
Chill the Shrimp: Ensure your cooked shrimp is chilled. You can place them in the refrigerator for a few hours before using them to enhance their refreshing taste.
Chop the Vegetables: Prepare the Spanish onion, roma tomatoes, cucumber, celery, and jalapeño pepper by finely chopping them and placing them into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mix the Cocktail Base
Combine Ingredients: In the same bowl as the chopped vegetables, add the freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, black pepper, tomato and clam juice cocktail, and ketchup. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Step 3: Add the Shrimp and Seasonings
Add the Shrimp: Gently fold in the chilled cooked shrimp and chopped cilantro into the mixture until everything is evenly coated. Make sure not to mash the shrimp while mixing.
Spice It Up: Add hot pepper sauce to the mixture, adjusting the amount to suit your taste. Stir to incorporate everything thoroughly.
Step 4: Chill Before Serving
