Fresh ingredients—avocados, onion, jalapenos—make this dish a fiesta for the senses.

Ingredients

1 pound peeled medium shrimp
1/2 cup beer
1/2 cup clam juice

1/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh finely chopped white and red onion
2-3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh jalapeño, with seeds
2 ripe Mexican Hass avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and diced

Preparation

Cook shrimp in a medium pot of boiling salted water for one minute (the water should taste like the sea; about 1 tablespoon kosher salt or 1/2 tablespoon fine salt to 1 quart of water). Drain shrimp, then cool and chill.
Stir together beer, clam juice, ketchup, lime juice, cilantro, onion, and jalapeño in a medium bowl. Stir in chilled shrimp, then gently stir in avocado. Fill 4 cocktail glasses.
