(Coctel de Camorones u Ostiones, San Juan de Ulua)The author says, “In an effort to get a good mix, I sat at my favorite maestro’s booth by the old fort of San Juan de Ulua in Vera Cruz. I did a surreptitious time motion study of his sauce blending, and at the end of the two hours I had eaten four cocktails and had heisted the secret formula.” Ingredients:
8 shrimp, cooked and shelled or 8 oysters, raw |
1/2 teaspoon lime juice |
1/2 teaspoon lea & perrins worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped onion |
2 drops tabasco sauce |
2 tablespoons dry white wine |
1/2 cup catsup (some chefs use tomato juice, others use both) |
3 tablespoons shrimp juice (for the shrimp cocktail only) |
sliced lime |
Directions:
1. Put the shrimp or oysters in a tall glass, Mix the 7 ingredients, cover with the sauce and serve salt and pepper with heaps of sliced lime. This is one portion.
