How To Make Gluten-Free Cold Shrimp Cocktail Veracruz Recipe
Several seasons ago I filmed regional cooking in Akumal, Mexico at the Lol-Ha Restaurant. I learned how to cook amazing meals and appetizers for under $10 or $15 per meal using fresh vegetables, such as this amazing Shrimp Veracruz Cocktail. Cooking on a beach with a chef who loves garden-fresh food – what an experience!
Follow the video above to see how it is made.

Serve with chips or crackers.
*Note – Because the FTC requires it, I am noting that the Mayan Riviera Tourism, Hotel Akumal Caribe, Villa Akumal, and Akumal Guide Mexicarte sponsored this experience. I was not told what to document or how to document the experience of making Shrimp Veracruz Cocktail, we were simply asked to attend and film – anything expressed in posts related to the activities is my own opinion expressed from my own personal experience.
I tried it today. It’s so yummy! Thx for the recipe
