    This shrimp cocktail is amazing. We make it for every party, and it's always the first thing to go! This is definitely a keeper! For those not using the orange soda, you're missing out!!!

    My sister-in-law has been making this for years - she's from Puebla Mexico. It's absolutely AMAZING and was a huge hit when I made it for friends this New Year's. One change - we didn't spice or grill the shrimp...just added cooked shrimp to the cocktail mix. Superb and super easy!!!
