This Mexican seafood cocktail, known traditionally as a cóctel de mariscos, is a vibrant and refreshing dairy-free starter that perfectly balances zingy citrus with savoury seafood. Unlike a vintage British prawn cocktail, this version uses a light tomato and lime base infused with coriander and a hint of spice, rather than a heavy mayonnaise dressing. It is a fantastic choice for a summer dinner party or a light lunch when you want something impressive yet effortless.
Packed with protein from succulent lump crabmeat and tender baby prawns, this dish is as nutritious as it is flavourful. The addition of creamy avocado provides a lovely contrast to the crisp bite of white onion and the subtle heat of the hot sauce. Serve these elegant seafood glasses with a handful of salty crackers on the side for a truly authentic Mexican experience.
