For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the shrimp before adding them to the cocktail. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preference for spice. If you don't have tomato and clam juice cocktail on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of tomato juice or vegetable juice. Serve with saltine crackers, tortilla chips, or tostadas for a delightful crunch. Garnish with extra cilantro or a lime wedge for an elegant presentation.
