Woo Hoo! Shrimp Season!
Some fresh from the water shrimp sound heavenly.
Our local Mexican restaurant makes a delicious shrimp cocktail. You get a huge goblet filled with nice shrimp in tomato salsa with big chunks of onion and avocado. It's served with saltine crackers. Tara |

I don't see it on the menus of Mexican restaurants that I usually eat in, and when I do see it - there's always something else I want to try on that menu because I know what shrimp, avocado and salsa taste like... but DARN. I'd order it, if it was on the menu of my regular Mexican restaurants.  -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I'd order > it, if it was on the menu of my regular Mexican restaurants. The best shrimp cocktail I've ever had was in a beach-side restaurant in Cozumel, Mexico. The sauce was very spicy, tomato based but didn't have a hint of horseradish in it. The bad thing is that I can't remember which place it was, and those beach clubs have changed hands so many times that I doubt that I'll ever find it again. George L |
