Now, THAT is a nice bowl glass for seafood cocktails. Add pico de gallo if you like that.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

2 lbs. frozen mussles
1 lb. shrimp, jumbo / colossal
mixed canned seafood (Pic5)
1 lb. roma tomatoes
S&P
hot peppers (serrano, jalapeno
optional:
pico de gallo
or other finely-chopped raw vegetables.

Pic1: seafood cocktail with mussels

Directions

Pic2-4: mussels

Cook and shuck the mussels.
There really aren't very many mussels in 2 lbs. of frozen mussels, maybe 25-30.

Pic5: clams, oysters, seafood mix
Pic6: combine
Pic7: simmer

Quarter and stew the tomatoes until they fall apart. Add 50-100% of volume water.
Season to taste.
Especially the Sol-Mex seafood cocktail is very nice for this, many things you won't find anywhere else.
Add the drained seafood and mussels cans to tomatoes.
Bring to a low boil.
Simmer 5 minutes.

Pic8: all done
Pic9+10: served

Season to taste.
Allow to cool somewhat, to avoid breaking the glass from boiling liquid.
Serve with large shrimp on the top of the glass.
Optional: add pico de gallo to taste.
Enjoy.
