Who doesn’t love a shrimp cocktail? Jumbo shrimp swimming in a tangy cocktail sauce that is usually a combination of ketchup, lemon or lime zest and juice, cilantro, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce and served in an iconic glass. If there was ever a food that screamed Nevada, the shrimp cocktail is it (which is a bit strange in a landlocked state.) Nevertheless, take a look at the very best shrimp cocktails Nevada has to offer.
1. Dupar's Restaurant and Bakery (inside the Suncoast Hotel and Casino) 9090 Alta Dr., Las Vegas (702) 636-5570
With the original Las Vegas location in the Golden Gate Hotel, Dupar's - known for the quintessential Las Vegas shrimp cocktail - is now in the Suncoast Hotel and Casino on the west side of town where shrimp cocktail aficionados can get their fix.
Despite its $11.99 price tag, this is, perhaps, the very best Mexican shrimp cocktail in the state, according to Las Vegas natives and visitors alike. The rest of the menu is to die for as well.
Mariscos El Mariachi has one of the best Mexican shrimp cocktails in the state and, to make it even better, the guacamole that is served atop the cocktail is freshly made to order.
Beto's Mexican shrimp cocktail is one of Reno's best. Catsup, chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, shrimp, and clam broth served in a classic cocktail glass mix to make a truly delicious appetizer. Or have a couple of them for a satisfying lunch.
While it may not look like much, the shrimp cocktails at Cellblock Steakhouse feature jumbo shrimp that is amazingly fresh and flavorful for being in the middle of the desert.
