FAQ

Can I use raw shrimp?
Yes, but they must be cooked first. Boil, steam, or grill them before adding to the cocktail.

Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the shrimp and vegetables in advance, but fold in avocado just before serving to keep it fresh.

Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, naturally, as long as your tomato-clam juice and hot sauce are gluten-free.
