This is a delicious blend of flavors and so easy. I had been searching for a recipe for a true Mexican "Coctel de camaron" and stumbled across this one. Unfortunately when I wanted to make it, no scallops were available, so I left out the Clamato juice and just used about 3/4 lb of jumbo shrimp. Of course it did not have quite the soupy quality but without the additional seafood it would have been too much liquid. Still, the flavor is amazing and would make a great appetizer, light lunch or even dinner. I will try it again with the scallops and Clamato juice but even modified, this recipe is a winner! Very authentic and tasty!
