Mexican Shrimp Cocktail Recipe

Here is the way I like to make Mexican style shrimp cocktail. My favorite way to serve it is on tostadas. This recipe is a light and fresh way to serve a meal or appetizer. It is also a great party food and can be multiplied to feed a hungry crowd. You can adjust the ingredients to your taste and add the fresh elements of your choice.

1 1/2 tbls hot sauce
