A local restaurant makes Coctel de Camarones that I LOVE. I've tried about a dozen recipes prior to yours and they were always "not quite right". This was perfect! I'd used every combo of V8, Clamato, tomato juice, sauce, purée, paste...Who knew it was ketchup? Thanks for posting!

David, that sounds really good! I simmer the shrimp shells when I want a shrimp broth for rice or other soups. :) I've only had Coctel de Camarones at room temperature. Never tried it cold, but will have to next time. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :)

try simmering the shrimp shells only for about 20 minutes then cook the shrimp. This gives the Coctel a much stronger flavor. Some regions in Mexico have these warm (hot) others room temperature, we like ours cold. The colder the better.

Try adding CLAMATO CAMARÓN (available at supermarkets) in your coctel de camarón. Another dimention!

If You cook the shrimp with the shell and salt it gives better taste to the juice, even better if you cook the shrimp with the head and peeled after is beign cooked

ANONYMOUS: Clamato juice in Coctel de Camaron sounds delish! And I agree with you on the Valentina, it is my preferred hot sauce. It's not too spicy and slightly sweet. But my Hubby loves to use Salsa Porky! (It's a local brand of hot sauce made with Yahualica chile de arbol. The best in the world!)

I love coctel de camaron! But instead of ketchup, we use v8 juice or clamato juice. And for the hot sauce I love to use Salsa Valentina, but careful, it's SPICY!

First time I tried this was in Monterry, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. It was served in a large sundae glass, much like the picture you show here. I couldn't stop eating it and just wanted to dive in to the glass headfirst! Anyone who likes shrimp cocktail will fall in LOVE with this dish. Reminds me a Gezpacho with shrimp.

We put orange juice without pulp into ours as well as the ketchup. Maybe this is a chilanga thing?

Looks delicious. Almost like a Ceviche.
