Default Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

My DH and I were at a street fair recently where we had a Mexican shrimp
cocktail. It was very tasty. Near as I can recall, here's how it was made:

Put some small cooked, peeled deveined shrimp in a glass. Sprinkle
liberally with hot sauce. Add some more shrimp. Douse with tomato juice.
Squeeze in some fresh lime juice. Top with minced cilantro and onions. Add
three to four small thin chunks of avocado. Splash with a bit of olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt. Serve with saltine crackers.



We scooped the shrimp onto the crackers and then drank the juice that was
left in the cup.



Does this recipe sound about right to those of you who have had this dish at
a street fair in your neighborhood? Does anyone have a tried-and-true
recipe for Mexican shrimp cocktail? I googled for one, but all the recipes
I saw had fresh tomatoes in them.
