Cocktel de Camarón, or Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, is a vibrant seafood dish commonly enjoyed across Mexico and Latin America. This refreshing appetizer features poached shrimp mixed in a tangy tomato-based sauce with lime juice, chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, cucumber, and avocado. Often served chilled in a large glass or bowl, it’s typically accompanied by saltine crackers or tostadas. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants from fresh vegetables, it offers several health benefits, including muscle repair and heart health. However, its sodium content from the shrimp, tomato sauce, and accompaniments may be a consideration for those limiting salt intake. Low in calories yet bursting with flavor, Cocktel de Camarón makes a light, satisfying dish for seafood lovers and a staple of coastal Mexican cuisine.
