    I have eaten this in restaurants and had no idea it was so easy. I like to add diced avocado.

    I have made a number od recipes from her latest book, Mexican Made Easy, in which this particular dish was featured. I had a post-it on the page...to try which I finally did last night. It was truly delicious. I took the suggestion from a reviewer about adding a little avocado which gave it another texture to enjoy. it was easy to purchase the seafood since my husband and I live on the coast of CT but I think it can be adapted quite well with good frozen seafood. Serve it in a beautiful glass along with nice glass of crisp Chardonnay and you'll be in Meixco!!

    I have used this recipe over and over. I have substituted the shrimp with chopped lobster and had raves. Goes good with keebler club crackers

    I have enjoyed making this receipe for friends and family. It was FANTASTIC!!! Way to go Marcela!! The cilantro and lime really gives it that authentic taste so popular throughout most Latin American countries. I have made it several times!! I highly recommend it!!!

    I love eating shrimp cocktail with lime and clamato at my favorite Mexican restaurant, but it's pricey! I was so excited to see that Maricela made a recipe that's easy to make, and really tasty. Awesome.

    Oh My Gosh... this was incredibly delicious!!! I purchased raw shrimp and had to clean it & cook it. I followed the instructions for cooking the scallops. I will purchase cooked shrimp next time though - way easier! We had family and friends over for dinner and I served this as an appetizer, I will definitely make this again. A BIG HIT!!! Thank you!!!!!! :

    Delicious! It tastes even better than my favorite shrimp cocktail at Isaac's Mariscos in Imperial Beach. I did not have scallops, so i just used more shrimp. It was light, just right spicy, so yummy!

    Great recipe. You could taste each and every ingredient in the Coctel. We had leftovers for the next night and it was as good if not better marinating overnight. Will definitely make again soon.

    This was great. I had a guest that was allergic to shrimp so I just doubled the scallops. Big hit!!!
