Rocky Point Shrimp Cocktail


Rocky Point Shrimp Cocktail

My friend Ernie Bunch, the Vice Mayor of Cave Creek, has been coming to my open mic, about two or three times a month, for the past 12 years. He wanted my Rocky Point Shrimp Cocktail recipe, but said he will cure the shrimp in Key lime juice rather than steaming or boiling it!”
I told him that was a great idea. So, find below the recipe. This is a recipe that my wife, Chef Kathy, developed, after we went to Rocky Point Mexico about 20 years ago. It’s delicious and is just the right thing for those days, poolside when it’s too hot to eat.
