Step 1
Start by combining the shrimp with lemon juice, chopped tomatoes, and diced onion in a bowl. Add in a splash of your favorite orange soda like Sunkist® or Crush®, then stir in some ketchup and Clamato®—you can choose the original or picante flavor depending on how spicy you like it. Season everything with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and a few dashes of hot sauce to taste. Give it all a good mix, then pop it in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes. Right before you’re ready to serve, gently fold in some fresh avocado for a creamy touch.

How to serve
Serve this cocktail in individual glasses or small bowls with a wedge of lime on the side. It pairs nicely with crunchy celery sticks or tortilla chips for dipping. It also works well as a light appetizer before a main meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 1-2 days to maintain freshness and avoid soggy shrimp. Keep the shrimp and cocktail sauce separate if possible to preserve texture.
