Recipe from Rick Bayless, Mexico – One Plate at a Time, season 3.

This recipe is one of our favorite indulgences.  When we have shrimp, I always make up a small batch to serve with homemade tortilla chips and a green salad.  It is super simple to put together, and the sauce is made up of staples from my pantry.

Ingredients

• 1 lb cooked shrimp, cut into bite size pieces
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1-2 Tablespoons hot sauce (I use Tabasco Chipotle – Yum!)
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 small onion, finely diced
• 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 avocado, diced just before serving

Directions

Put the shrimp in a large bowl, and add the lime juice.  Add the remaining ingredients (except for avocado) and mix well.

Serve, with diced avocado on top.

This recipe yields 4 cups, which serves 4-6 as a light meal.  The leftovers are really good for a light lunch with a green salad and saltines.
