Step-by-Step Instructions
- First, gather all your ingredients to ensure everything is close at hand when you're cooking.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl. If you prefer, chop them coarsely or leave whole. Drench in lemon juice until fully submerged. Cover and let chill for 30 minutes or until they become opaque and slightly firm.
- Combine onions, tomato, cucumber, radishes, and garlic in a separate bowl. Gradually add jalapeno and cilantro, adjusting to your desired taste as the jalapeno flavor will intensify while marinating.
- Mix in tomato and clam juice cocktail into the bowl containing the vegetables until you achieve your preferred consistency.
- Cover and refrigerate for another hour. This dish is best served chilled, so accompany it with crispy tortilla chips for the full experience.
