World’s Largest Shrimp Cocktail?

Members of Mazatlán’s Tres Islas Hotel and Motel Association are determined to make the world’s biggest shrimp cocktail and put the city’s name in the Guinness World Book of Records.

The cocktail, which will require 500 kilos of shrimp, will be put together in a two meter high container most probably in front of the Family Monument at the intersection of Avenida del Mar and Rafael Buelna in mid-June.

José Ramón Manguart Sánchez, president of the association, said the project is a good opportunity to promote the city’s seafood abundance and the fact that it harbors one of the largest shrimp fleets in Latin America.

Members are presently canvassing local restaurants and businesses to take part in the endeavour, and working at fulfilling the requirements of the Guinness authorities.

This is something no one has ever done before and it will be ours alone, he told media. And once it is ready, and presumably Guinness has finished with the formalities, families will be invited to enjoy the results.
