Let’s make a classic Mexican-style shrimp cocktail. 00:00:09:15 – 00:00:12:15
Start by peeling, deseeding and chopping some cucumbers 00:00:27:21 – 00:00:30:23 Finely dice an onion and a
couple of serrano chilies 00:00:32:09 – 00:00:34:08
It should be as spicy as you like it. 00:00:50:19 – 00:00:54:04 And don’t forget a good handful
of fresh cilantro, finely chopped. 00:00:57:17 – 00:01:02:15
Squeeze plenty of lime juice, and into that juice, mix in crushed
garlic, salt, and black pepper. 00:01:15:15 – 00:01:18:15 And now, this is the secret
ingredient that sets it apart 00:01:18:15 – 00:01:23:11
Salsa Bruja. It’s a dark, spiced vinegar made with
chilies, herbs, and aromatics. 00:01:27:07 – 00:01:31:01
And pour in tomato juice with clam broth, you can find it as Clamato 00:01:31:01 – 00:01:32:13
Add a squirt of Ketchup. 00:01:32:13 – 00:01:34:15
Enough to get that thick consistency 00:01:35:19 – 00:01:40:01
Mix it up and add a splash of Maggi seasoning, and a
dash of Worcestershire sauce 00:01:41:09 – 00:01:46:22
