Super Summer Shrimp (super fast)

Need a quick meal and something to do with all those garden fresh tomatoes?

This meal comes together in less than ten minutes - provided of course that you have all the ingredients on hand. I was able to chop it up, grab a bag of non-gentically modified "organic" tortilla chips and enjoy while watching a summer baseball game.


Eight cooked large shrimp
2 garden fresh tomatoes
8 large stems of cilantro
1/2 lime
one very ripe avocado
pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
splash of Modena vinegar

Chop shrimp in to small, bite sized pieces and place in glass dish. Dice garden tomatoes and discard inside core leaving mostly the outer skin. Pull cilantro leaves off stems and toss with shrimp and tomatoes.

Roll lime on counter using the palm of your hand to "loosen the juice." Cut lime in half and take a teaspoon to "twist the juice" in to the bowl of shrimp.

Dice avocado and toss with mixture.

Serve with tortilla chips and a glass of ice water splashed with lemonade.

(I would double the recipe if you are preparing for two.)

Enjoy with a cool breeze...
