Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook just until they curl into a loose “C”—about 2–4 minutes depending on size. Drain and immediately submerge in ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, cut into bite‑sized pieces.

Step 2: Combine the Fresh Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp with sliced celery, jalapeño, cucumber, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped onion.

Step 3: Mix the Cocktail Base

In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, orange juice and zest, tomato juice, tomato sauce, grated garlic, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Combine & Chill

Pour the cocktail base over the shrimp and veggies. Stir gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld.

Serving Ideas
