Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

This is my shrimp cocktail recipe. I first tried something similar to this in San Antonio and could never find a recipe that recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with the perfect combination of ingredients. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!
