Margarita Shrimp Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the scallops, reduce the heat and poach gently for about 2 minutes. Drain well and chill at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Stir together the onion, clam-tomato juice, ketchup, lime juice, cilantro, serrano chile and hot sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Quarter the scallops. Add the scallops and shrimp to the sauce and stir gently to combine. Divide among 4 glasses or bowls. Serve with saltines or chips.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except shrimp. Serve as dip for shrimp.

Steps:

• Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails intact. Set shells aside for the stock. Using a small, pointed knife or shrimp deveiner, make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp, then wash out the vein. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat shrimp shells, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt to boiling over high heat. Add wine, 2 tablespoons lime juice, the peppercorns and handful of cilantro. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 30 minutes. Strain stock through a strainer into a large bowl and discard shells, peppercorns and cilantro. Return stock to same pan and heat to boiling over high heat. Add shrimp; remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes until shrimp are pink and firm. Meanwhile, fill large bowl half full with ice and water. Strain stock through strainer and plunge shrimp into ice bath. Shrimp can be refrigerated in ice water for several hours. In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. (Don't use aluminum bowl because the acid in the sauce may react.) Stir in cooked shrimp to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 3 hours. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Stir shrimp, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, tequila, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate shrimp in marinade for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove shrimp from bowl and thread onto skewers; discard marinade.
• Cook on the preheated grill until shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Sample the tequila to make sure it has not gone bad! lol.
• Mix all marinade ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add shrimp, cover and let marinate in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Sample the tequila AGAIN to make sure it has not gone bad since you tasted it in step 1! lol.
• Remove shrimp and discard marinade. Thread shrimp onto skewers or just put them in a grill wok or basket and grill for 5-6 minutes. Turn when they begin to turn pink on the bottom. Do NOT overcook.
• Remove from grill and serve immediately.
• BUT NOT before you SAMPLE the tequila AGAIN! hehehe.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Fold together. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• In blender, add in canola oil, garlic, shallots, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice and tequila. Blend into a smooth puree. In the refrigerator, marinate shrimp in a large bowl in puree for 1 hour. Grill over an open flame or in a grill pan or saute in 1 tablespoon oil. Serve shrimp warm with Pico De Gallo Cocktail Sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl, except for the shrimp.
• Put cocktail sauce into your favorite bowl, or cocktail glass.
• Put wedges on edge.
• Place bowl or glass on platter and layer shrimp around.
• Keep refridgerated until your going to serve them.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix shrimp, with lemon juice, tomatoes, onion, Sunkist® or Crush® orange flavor, Ketchup, Clamato® Original or Picante flavor, Salt & pepper to taste, Worcestershire Sauce, hot sauce (to taste) and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Before serving add avocado.

Steps:

• Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
• Toss in tomatoes, onions, mango, and shrimp.
• Chop avocado and toss with lime juice. Leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. This will slow down the browning process of the avocado.
• Add avocado lime juice to mixture and toss.
• Serve with tortilla chips.
• **NOTE** For a very impressive presentation, I like to serve this in a margarita glass placed on top of a dessert sized plate with some of the avocado mixed in and some sprinkled on top. A lime wedge on the edge of the glass and tortilla chips around the plate. Makes a great appetizer for a dinner party or a great dip for a big party!

Steps:

• Shell and devein shrimp. Butterfly shrimp by splitting them partly down the back, starting at the head and stopping short of the tail. Flatten them lightly. Place shrimp in a bowl and add lime juice, salt and pepper. Let stand briefly until ready to cook.
• Peel the avocado, and cut it into half-inch slices. Discard pit. Use as soon as possible or the flesh will discolor.
• Heat butter in a skillet; when it is quite hot but not smoking add shrimp, stirring rapidly. Cook about two minutes. Sprinkle with shallots and cook, stirring, about 10 seconds. Carefully add the tequila, which may flare up. Add half-and-half and cook over high heat about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add avocado, and cook just until the slices are piping hot.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and avocado pieces to hot serving dishes. Bring the sauce to a full rolling boil for about 1 1/2 minutes and add the chopped cilantro. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and avocado. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Cook the shrimp in simmering water with a pouch of Crab Boil until they turn a pale coral color. If they start to curl up, they're overcooked. Shock the shrimp with ice to stop them from cooking and chill in the refrigerator. In a large bowl, combine the tomato, cilantro, olives and jalapeno. In a medium bowl, blend the salsa, juices, the Tequila, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces. Stir in the tomato mixture. Chill this mixture before assembling the cocktails. Just before serving, cut the avocado into thick slices and splash some limes juice on them so they don't brown. Cut the limes into wedges and gather the cilantro garnish. Place an avocado slice in the chilled glass and spoon the cocktail sauce next, leaving part of the avocado exposed. Place a lime wedge on each glass and line the shrimp around the rims. It's okay to dip them into the sauce slightly to give them anchorage. Garnish with the cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• In large bowl, place shrimp, avocado, cucumber, onions, tomatoes, chile and cilantro; toss gently to mix.
• In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients except crackers until blended. Pour over shrimp mixture, stirring to mix.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to marinate. Spoon 3/4 cup shrimp mixture into each of 10 glasses. Serve with saltine crackers.
