Mexican Shrimp Cocktail Or Rockfish Mexican Shrimp Martini

(from cokerlj’s recipe box)

You can make this and serve in frosted mugs with a long handled ice tea spoon or you can serve with Tostito Scoops.
My original recipe called for Tequila…since I serve this where children might also be eating it… I do not add the Tequila. Besides that, I don’t care for the Tequila.
