Directions

Also known as vuelve a la vida (which literally translates as “come back to life”), this marisco is a popular spicy tomato-based seafood cocktail served in Mexican beach towns. Commonly eaten the morning after a night of revelry, it is thought to be restorative. This recipe borrows the spicy and tangy flavors of a bloody Mary and pairs them with the sweet meat of shrimp and crab. It’s a great dish with which to start (or end) any party.

Steps

1 Done	Blanch the Shrimp Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
2 Done	Add the shrimp to the boiling water and allow to cook for 1 minute. Remove the shrimp from the pot with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Allow the shrimp to cool thoroughly in the ice water, then drain and place on paper towels to absorb some of the water. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
3 Done	Prepare the Crab Drain the crab of liquid and pick through it to remove any cartilage. Lightly break up some of the larger lumps of crab, leaving a few chunks intact. Mix the crab with the shrimp.
4 Done	Add the red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeños, and half the cilantro to the shellfish and mix until well incorporated.
5 Done	In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, ketchup, and salt and stir until well blended. Add this sauce to the shellfish and vegetables and gently toss until well combined.
6 Done	Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
7 Done	Garnish and Serve Toss the remaining cilantro into the salad and place on a serving dish. Garnish with sprigs of cilantro and serve with tortilla chips.
