Coctel de Camerones

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Stir. Spread. Flip. Repeat: Coctel de Camerones! Two of my favorite foodstuff cravings time after time lead me to cocktail shrimp and Mexican cuisine. A friend shared his secret recipe, adding clam juice, to enhance the liveliness this dish creates for the taste buds. For now, I put it on pause to use at a later time. The spicy Bloody Mary concoction is bold beyond measure. It is also all-natural, gluten free, and contains no high fructose corn syrup. Treat yourself to the real thing.
