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
