Your recipe is almost identical to my son-in-law's mother's recipe for guacamole [yummmm] - she uses the small 'cocktail' shrimps and no mayo - I never thought to just add the mayo to make this is a great sounding salad Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com <mailto:sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com> Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com <mailto:srund@svl.ems.lmco.com> LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi <http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi> [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146 ---------- From: Doug Irvine [SMTP:dougandmarie@home.com] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2000 10:49 AM To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com; Deb deForest Subject: [CH] Avocado Shrimp salad Couple of people have requested that Avocado Shrimp salad, that I served with the Arroz con Pollo, which I posted the other day, so here it is. 2 avocados 1/4 cup chopped onion, red or white, I used red 1 small clove of garlic, chopped really fine 1 tomato, skinned and chopped 1 jalapeno seeded and chopped 3/4 cup of cooked shrimp 2 tbls miracle whip, or similar Peel and de-seed the avocados, sprinkle with lime juice to retard oxidation. Combine onion, garlic, tomato & pepper in a bowl. Add in the avocados, chopping them in roughly, add salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mix in the miracle whip...stir this all around well, taste for seasoning, add a little Calvin's and then carefully stir in the shrimp, taking care not to break them up. This may be made, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated for a few hours, then served on a bed of shredded romaine...be sure to shred the lettuce. Tastes great, and is a different way of serving avocado, other than guacamole. Cheers, Doug in BC
