About 15 years ago, during a weekend stayover on a business trip to visit my top distributor in Venezuela, I was invited on a trip to Morrocoy National Park for a weekend of boating, sun, and fun. The weekend was a picture-perfect caribbean beach vacation, complete with pristine white beaches, calm seas, tiny cays and beautiful tanned bodies. But what most stands out from that trip was when a small wooden boat pulled up to ours with a fisherman selling vuelve la vidas- a venezuelan seafood cocktail- mind-blowing! The ones that day had freshly-caught shrimp, octopus and oysters with a spicy cocktail sauce. We've brought this moment back to life with our version- wild caribbean shrimp, calamari from Monterey, Washington Manila clams, diced tomatoes, sweet onion, and cilantro, and our spicy cocktail sauce. We just put them on the menu and you can hear the gentil caribbean waves lapping on the fine white sand as eat you this. This dish is probably the perfect bar or picnic food (tailgates too). Come check it out, or better yet, book a trip to Morrocoy!
