  • 2 tbsp Tajin seasoning optional
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 Anaheim chiles
  • 1 cup Clamato juice regular or spicy

  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp Mexican hot sauce
  • 1 tsp Jugo Maggi

  • ¼ cup English cucumber diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high for direct grilling.
  • Clean shrimp and remove shells, leaving tails on for garnish if desired.
  • In a resealable bag, mix lime juice, Tajin seasoning, and vegetable oil. Add shrimp, remove air, and mix. Marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Place Anaheim chiles directly over coals, blistering skin. Flip occasionally until almost charred. Steam in a plastic container or bag while shrimp grills.
  • Prepare skewers. Drain marinade and pat shrimp dry. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing twice to secure.
  • Clean grill grates. Grill skewers over coals for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and firm (about 120°F internal temperature).
  • Remove shrimp from skewers and rest. Chop into bite-sized pieces, reserving some for garnish.
  • Peel and dice steamed chiles, removing stem and seeds.
  • In a large bowl, whisk Clamato juice, ketchup, lime juice, vegetable oil, hot sauce, Jugo Maggi, and black pepper for cocktail sauce.
  • Fold in chopped shrimp, chiles, tomato, jalapeño, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Adjust seasoning with salt.
  • Serve chilled with lime wedges and saltines.
