For this recipe will be using shrimp I have about a pound here but it’s a little bit because it shouldn’t a pretty large I already got him clean and deveined and then to cook our shrimp I’ll be using a piece of onion garlic cloves some bay leaves and about 6 of

The whole black peppercorns and then we have of course our imitation crab and then we have some ketchup some tomato juice which is the cocktail tomatoes and juice and then we have some Maggi some hot sauce some pepper to taste and therefore veggies we’ll be using some cilantro some lime some serrano peppers

Tomatoes red onion and some cucumbers and remember you can create your own wave remove add whatever you want so now let’s get started how to cook this okay so in a pot with water I went ahead and added a black peppers onions garlic and her babies I’m gonna let this come to a

Boil like for five to seven minutes in the meantime I’m gonna go ahead and remove the shell from our shrimp so now let’s go ahead and remove the shell and I already got these clean and devein so be easier you can also use cooked shrimp but that’s your preference I like to

Cook my own shrimp but it’s totally fine okay as you can see the water is already boiling completely go ahead yes add our shrimp and remember our shrimp you’re only going to cook them like for three minutes okay as soon as they start turning pink you remove them if you

Leave them longer they will get like rubber and you don’t want that and I already have a bowl with some ice water because when we remove our shrimp we will put them in here so I can stop the cooking and they cook cool down and I

Save my shells because if you want your take your bra to have more flavor this is a good idea of how to come save the shuttle I’ll show you Raina transfer to your eyes I’m gonna go ahead and set it aside and let me show you something if you want

More of an intense flavor of your shrimp your shells go ahead and put them into that same water that we have and let it cook for about five minutes just so the water could get the flavor of the shrimp okay so this already came to a boil

Let’s go ahead and turn it off I’m going to go ahead and drain it let’s go ahead and drain once they cool down for like five minutes in your ice water go ahead and drain them and put your shrimp into the refrigerator and Wilkens start cutting our veggies and remember

All the ingredients with the measurements are listed in the description box so I’m gonna go ahead and start peeling our cucumber Okay so now we’re gonna cut our cucumber and for me when it comes to cocktail I like to remove the seeds from everything from our cucumbers from our Tomatoes perfect everything okay so then let’s go ahead and take off our seeds Now we’re gonna go ahead and cut our onion and I’m sorry I’m not the person you don’t want them spicy go ahead and use some Now it’s cilantro time let’s go ahead and cut this off and you’re only gonna use what is tough parts of your league’s it’s okay if it has a little bit of it but not the whole thing okay so let’s go ahead and cut this and remember to

Always wash it you bet she’s really good now let’s go ahead and cut the tomato and I cut the little end and then you don’t want to waste your tomato go ahead and cut around it now we’re going to go ahead and squeeze our lines I’m going to start off with

Two sometimes you need a little bit more but it’s up to you how much you want so let’s just okay so all our veggies already nice and cut if you actually add some salary nice and chopped the taste is really good but my husband does not like salary and I

Mean matter of fact with the Clamato juice he likes a what a little bit because too much he doesn’t taste like too much salary so now we have the Hiva and you could either shred it or you could cut it into like a smaller little just um pieces they’re not really cute

Because it shirts anyways a little bit but that’s up to you how you want Okay so now we’re gonna go ahead and add our ketchup into a bowl and then that’s our motto lime juice this is the jeweler where we cooked our shrimp let’s go ahead and add some of that too and then you’re a muggy let’s add one tablespoon or you could

Start off with half a tablespoon except to you or a couple drops and hot sauce I’m using the Patil but you could actually use Tabasco or any kind of hot sauce that you like if you have that salsa english’ you can also add one tablespoon no more than one tablespoon

Now let’s go ahead and put some pepper Webster so now let’s go ahead and add our imitation crap you’re going to you’re gonna go ahead your sauce so once everything is nice and mixed together go ahead let’s try it a little bit mmm it’s good

In case you need a little bit of salt that’s when you add a little bit of salt but to me it’s perfect because the ketchup the sauce that we added the Maggi sauce and then the hot sauce it like company really good with the flavor

So for me I do not need any salt but if you like it a little bit more with something go ahead and add salt now this is all done okay this is your cocktail but if you want it more juicy then just go ahead and keep on adding more we’re

Brought from your shrimp to have it more you know more just for like a cocktail and then try it again give you any more ketchup or tomato juice just keep on adding it to your liking now it’s of a carnal Time The Mikado added until the

End or you could top it off and not cut it in there but it will not get black because of the lemon it helps it for your auto not to get black oh my god Very yummy So I feel you have it that’s all we’re completely done it’s very good you guys to smell mmm it smells very delicious enjoy lit some crackers some like the nacho chips I do some tapas or tostadas whatever you like you guys it’s perfect for these hot summer days so it’s not
