Very tasty! Didn’t have Clamato… used V8 Smooth juice, poached in very little water scallops and shrimp, reduced cooking liquid to a scant Tablespoon and voilà! Homemade seafood V8 juice. Added a scant tsp of vodka. Yummers.
This was so easy! It has great flavor and a wonderful kick!
Very good
Awesome! Followed the recipe exactly. The flavors were so fresh with the lime juice and cilantro. Definitely use the clamato juice. Thank you Marcella, you never disappoint.
This is a delicious blend of flavors and so easy. I had been searching for a recipe for a true Mexican “Coctel de camaron” and stumbled across this one. Unfortunately when I wanted to make it, no scallops were available, so I left out the Clamato juice and just used about 3/4 lb of jumbo shrimp. Of course it did not have quite the soupy quality but without the additional seafood it would have been too much liquid. Still, the flavor is amazing and would make a great appetizer, light lunch or even dinner. I will try it again with the scallops and Clamato juice but even modified, this recipe is a winner! Very authentic and tasty!
The addition of large dice avocado takes it up a notch more…yum! and so easy too!
AMAZING!! I followed the recipe and it taste perfect!! I will make this recipe for everyone I know!!
Made this recipe without the serrano chiles but because it called for hot sauce, you didn’t even miss it! My husband and 10yr old son loved it and it tasted even better when eaten with tostitos hint of jalepeno tortilla chips!
DELISH!! I made this for a party this weekend – it was easy and everyone raved! I served in one big pretty bowl as it was going on a buffet table. Did not serve with crackers or chips…just as is!
