Introduction
My adaptation of a popular Mexican classic. This is high in sodium, so may want to adjust the salt. Buy an extra lime for garnish. I use large quality frozen cocktail shrimp. I used salsa instead of tomato puree. That way, jalapeņo is not required. Can use some cilantro sprigs for garnish. Serve in a large, fancy water glass. serve with saltines. I find this very filling and sometimes take part of it home in a to-go cup. Traditional to serve with saltines - I use 4. My adaptation of a popular Mexican classic.
