    A refreshing Baja style Shrimp Cocktail serve in a glass with cooked shrimp, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, avocado in a mixture of cocktail sauce and orange juice. I added my own twist by adding chopped Jicama for extra crunch!

    • ½ cup cocktail sauce
    • 3/4 cup chopped or diced cucumber
    • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
    • ¾ cup chopped onions
    • ½ cup chopped jicama
    • 1 ripe avocado, chopped
    • 2 large oranges to make about ¾ – 1 c. fresh squeezed orange juice
    • ½ cup chopped cilantro
    • ¼ tsp. salt
    • Orange slices for garnish

    Directions

    1. In pan, add shrimp to water, white wine and bring to a boil. Take out shrimp and let cool. Reserve stock. Peel cooked shrimp and cut into pieces about 1/4 inch.

      No I have never tried to grill Jicama. I confess I don't grill much but you inspired me to do more of it this summer. :)

        AHA! I had a recipe I wanted to try at one point that was very similar to this. Now I have it permanently, ty for posting it. I love the addition of Jicama. Have you tried grilling jicama slices, it really brings out the sweetness?
