Seafood Gazpacho | Something New For Dinner

When Ceviche Marries Gazpacho

This mouth-watering cold soup is perfect for celebrating spring and summer tomatoes. Somewhere between a gazpacho and a ceviche, this recipe is quick to prepare.  Just remember to allow several hours to chill.  Take advantage of backyard or farmer's market tomatoes, be sure to use a great olive oil and Jerez vinegar.  I use a combination of larger hand-chopped vegetables and finer food processor-chopped vegetables to create texture and depth.  I recommend pre-chilling individual glass serving bowls for a frosty presentation.  Make a big batch because you will want to eat it again the next day.  You can double or triple the recipe for a large group.

Instructions

  1. Whisk together first 5 ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and crab and toss. Cover and refrigerate while you chop the vegetables.

    The avocado shrimp cocktails in a jar are so delicious! The mason jars for serving are fun and reusable. This is the best party appetizer because you can get it ready in advance, always a favorite at my parties.

      Thank you Eva for writing in. I’m so glad you are enjoying my Avocado Shrimp Cocktail recipe. The jars are also perfect for individual servings of gazpacho or my Grilled Peach & Amaretti Parfaits. Have a wonderful summer!

    What is a bag of cherry tomatoes

    1. Kim Pawell says:

      Hi Kms, My apologies for the confusion. When I developed this recipe over 5 years ago I was purchasing my cherry tomatoes in bags. I have not seen these bags in awhile. Most cherry tomatoes come in pint containers. I have updated the receipe to reflect the newer containers. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

    I was wondering do pour off the seafood marinade before adding to the vegetables.

      Hi Earl, I usually do not pour off the extra marinade. You could if you prefer to.
