played around with this a few times over the holidays and thought ya'll might like to try.
1 lb cooked/peeled shrimp (bigger is better but any will do)
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1 small cuke, peeled and chopped
1 or more jalepenos or seranos, chopped
1 avocado, peeled and chopped
2 Tbsp to 1/4 cup lime juice
Tabasco or other similar hot sauce to taste
spicy V8 or spicy Clamato or a combo of the two
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (parsley will do, but cilantro is much better)
salt
mix shrimp, vegs, Tabasco and lime, add V8/Clamato to just cover and chill well for a couple of hours to overnight (if you do overnight, save the avocado and some of the cilantro to add at serving time) salt to taste
serve in a tall milkshake glass or glass bowl with saltines, Tabasco or similar hot sauce and additional limes on the side. eat with ice tea spoon.
kind of a shrimp gazpacho - can be a side dish/appetizer or an entire lunch depending on serving size
good with Mexican beer, or margaritas

Thanks!

(55,019 posts)they say that soap thing is genetic but I used to hate cilantro and now I love it so I don't know what my deal was.

(10,642 posts)usually in the summer, but it still tastes bad.
I had a near death experience 2 years ago and thought that might help but no go!
I read that as the cilantro would help. Glad you are still with us! You are one of the nicest people on DU.
