Cilantro and Lime Marinated Spicy Shrimp Cocktails

Thought I’d try a new twist on shrimp cocktails this evening.  We eat quite a bit of seafood so trying recipes is always a treat.  This was inspired by a recipe I clipped from a magazine a few weeks ago.

Marinated Shrimp Cocktails

• 12 o.z. shrimp ~ peeled with tails on
• 1 Serrano pepper ~ finely diced
• 1 green onion ~ thinly sliced
• 1 Roma tomato ~ diced
• 1/4 cup red onion ~ diced
• 1 tsp cilantro
• juice of one lime
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 Tbs rice vinegar
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 tsp mexican oregano
• 1/4 tsp garlic
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1/4 tsp cumin

Cook shrimp; drain, chill and set aside.  Combine remaining ingredients in bowl.  Add cooked shrimp; stir together; refrigerate at least one hour or until ready to serve.
