  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups Clamato juice
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 3 avocados, cubed
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish

Directions:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place shrimp in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat.
