6 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Boil the shrimp for 90 seconds, then soak them in ice water and reserve the boiling water.
  2. 2 Mixing tomato juice with cooled shrimp broth is the secret to a delicious, authentic seafood-flavored shrimp drink.
  3. 3 Mix with ketchup, lime juice, and chopped chipotle peppers to make a thin sauce.
  4. 4 Chill the sauce for 2 hours; the shrimp must be served very cold for the dish to be authentic.
  5. 5 Dice the cucumber and finely chop the red onion, then mix them into the sauce.
  6. 6 Arrange the shrimp in a tall glass, pour in the sauce, add a cube of butter, and serve with crackers.
