A Spicy Southwestern Shrimp Cocktail Recipe

A Spicy Southwestern Shrimp Cocktail Recipe – these were amazing. You can’t beat fresh caught jumbo shrimp.

Southwestern Spicy Shrimp Cocktail
Here in the high mountain desert of the southwest we don't get a lot of fresh fish. When I see wild caught shrimp I jump on the band wagon. These jumbo shrimp looked so appetizing that I had to splurge and buy a few for a spicy shrimp cocktail appetizer. I didn't have a pack of shrimp boil so I put a few things together and make this amazing a simple recipe for the shrimp boil. I was impressed with the final product and thought I would share it with you. The shrimp were not spicy but had a slight hit of pepper. With cocktails sauce and fresh lemon they were delicious! So here you have it knock your sock off with this tasty appetizer. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
