Michelada de Camaron


I was craving for something salty, spicy, limey, and beer-y for dinner. So I decided on a Michelada - which is a Mexican shrimp cocktail topped off with beer. It was incredibly satisfying. This is especially good on a hot, summer day.

Need:

chopped shrimp (bay shrimp are fine for this use)
chopped tomatoes
peeled, chopped cucumber
finely chopped onion
finely chopped serrano pepper
finely chopped carrot
2-3 limes
salt
Tapatio hot sauce to taste
1 Mexican beer

1. Add the first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Squeeze the lime juice into it. Add a little salt and hot sauce.

2. Let it marinate for at least an hour

3. Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes. Top off with beer and mix around. Add more hot sauce, if you like. I like.

I love to drink/eat this with some tortilla chips.
