How Do You Make Mexican Shrimp Soup?
Shrimp, also known as prawn or scampi, are invertebrates that inhabit oceans all around the world. They are a versatile food that can be prepared by poaching, grilling, sautéing or broiling, and can be served hot or cold. This recipe yields approximately six servings of Mexican shrimp soup, which is ideal for cooling off during hot summer months. Peel the outer shell from the shrimp and remove all of the veins, leaving only the meaty tail. In a large pot over high heat, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for one minute. Drain by pouring into a colander. Run cold water over the shrimp, and set them aside to cool to room temperature. Cut the avocados into small cubes, andpour the lemon juice over them to preserve their color. Dice the tomatoes, onion and cucumber, and chop the cilantro. Combine the vegetables, the shrimp and the crab in a large salad bowl, and pour the Clamato juice on top. Mix the ingredients well, and add the salt and black pepper. Tr
