Guy is not a fan of boiled shrimp, so he makes his shrimp cocktail on the grill. If he’s going all out, he’ll even grill tomatoes and whip up homemade cocktail sauce!
Make the shrimp: Mix together the oregano, cumin, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, the olive oil and hot sauce in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag. Add the shrimp and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the shrimp from the marinade; discard the marinade. Grill the shrimp, turning, until opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and refrigerate immediately.
Make the cocktail mixture: Combine the ketchup, soda, lime juice and hot sauce in a large bowl and mix until blended. Gently mix in the cucumber, avocado, red onion and cilantro.
Cut each shrimp into 4 pieces. Stir the shrimp into the cocktail mixture.
Serve in small glasses with lime wedges and saltine crackers.
