Rick Bayles Secret Weapons: Herby Shrimp Cocktail

Since this is the "secret weapons" series, let me tell you a little secret: Go ahead and buy the cooked shrimp at your fish counter. Take those and a few spoonfuls of herby green chile adobo and you're about halfway through one of the quickest (and most special) appetizers I know how to make.

I would love to add to a Saturday brunch

i know this might not make sense to most of you all. But I've been a fan of yours for many years, since the PBS days, before you won the top chef title. I love your enthusiasm and respect for Mexican cuisine , your secret stuff hints, make alot of sense do us that are familiar with the ingredients, but never thought of COMBINE them. Anyways, You're the best .

I wouild love to take this shrimp cocktail and serve it in a boston lettuce wrap along with a spoonful of cilantro rice. So you get this crunchy potent Shrimp and veggies along with steamy rice and the cool crispness of the boston lettuce. You could put a bit of pico on top. It would be a great lunch.

Rick Bayless sir ty for making videos so that we may try and cook some of these exquisite foods. I'm looking forward to trying this one sometime soon.

Green Adobo added to some grilled fresh steelhead..(I am so lucky to live in Oregon.) I added a squeeze or fresh lime...TY Chef Baylss for these simple condiments..

Looks great. Made some Chimichurri the other day and have some left over shrimp from last nights dinner, on the road to a great appetizer for tonight! Your videos and cookbooks are excellent, have made numerous dinners from both. Thanks so much

These secret weapon videos are great, as usual. I grew up a huge cheesecake (and it's my weakness). My 98 yr old aunt used to make me one every year for my birthday, growing up. When I tried your airy light cheesecake, on a churro, I was shocked. I didn't know cheesecakes could be that light. Please consider showing how to make it.

Made this! The adobo verde sauce is fantastic…I put it in my scrambled eggs and made the dip, too. The herby shrimp cocktail was so good. I followed the recipes exactly. Thanks, Rick! You ROCK!

[SpecialKseZ]

Man, that looks so good. These new quick and easy videos are great and I love how you're including ingredients from your other videos. I can just grab the green adobo I had left over from the other vid (or one of the other secret weapons like the mojo de ajo), add a few ingredients and boom I have a completely different dish. Having these simple 5 minute recipes with reusable ingredients is my new favorite thing! Thank you Rick!

The green chili adobo is awesome on seafood!

[rodolfomendez]

Thanks, that is so close to be an aguachile, which is made of not cook shrimp and more spicy. Very delicious.

[christianoliver]

This is such a great idea for a cold app or as others have pointed out it would be perfect on a brunch buffet.
I mean really all you have to do is put these on the dinner table, open the door to the dining room and these are what your guests see first.
It'll be impressive.

[mattfisher]

This is OUTSTANDING! Made it for dinner tonight. I just ate it with some roasted cauliflower and roasted sweet potatoes I had left over! The adobo verde is amazing

[hbgriss]

60+ million year old incredible species. 💪🏼

[AdamTillotson]

I’m so thankful for these recipes. A tremendous (and free!) resource. Thanks again Chef!

[patibarrera]

Looks delicious! I bet red onion would be good in it…

[daphnepearce]

Rick I can't keep up with all this wonderfulness, but I'm trying. :-) Yesterday I made your mojo de ajo recipe to make with spicy refried beans recipe for today with my birria de res quesa tacos. I also made your red chile adobo just to have on hand in my fridge. Now I've got to make the green chile adobo. I love shrimp cocktail and I'll be digging into this. Thanks Rick!

[chaztech]

i need to get one of your books for the green chili adobo ;-; but ty rb great stuff!

[yvonnefarrell]

They enjoyed this cocktail so much they left an "s" out of Rick's surname. Man. ;-)
