-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-Shrimp-
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter -- (2-3)
3 cloves garlic -- minced (2 to 3)
1 teaspoon chili powder -- Mild
1 teaspoon chiles de arbol -- powdered hot stuff
1 tablespoon lime juice -- fresh preferred
1 pound medium-sized shrimp -- shelled and deveined
-Salad-
2 small tomato -- diced
2 small avocado -- cubed
1/2 small red onion -- or challot
handful fresh cilantro -- chopped
*optional diced chilled cucumber
-Dressing-
1 tomato -- peeled and deseeded
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lime juice -- 1-2 to taste
1 jalapeno -- fresh seeded & minced
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin -- toasted
2 cloves garlic
pinch cracked black pepper -- to taste
pinch Kosher salt -- to taste

Peel shrimp retaining tails, skewer and refridgerate until ready to
season and grill. In a sauce pan add oil and melt butter. When
butter oil mixture is hot, add garlic (it shud foam up slightly) and
chil, then lime juice and saute for a min. Remove from heat and cool.
Make dressing by combining all ingrediants in a blender and pureeing
until you have a smooth sauce. Combine salad ingrediants and mix with
the dressing. Brush shrimp with the garlic chili mixture and grill
until done. You can let the shirmp rest with the seasoning brushed on,
but it will pick up heat as it rests. Great either way.

NOTES : June 2006 Spicey shrimp is good all on its own, I dont always
make the cocktail, but it is very very nice...I serve by pouring the
cocktail in a shallow bowl and lining the shrimp around the rim, I put
the bowl in the center of a plater filled with tortilla chips so the
cocktail serves as a dip also...very very nice...It can also be served
around cocktail glasses with salad in the glass with the shrimp
pesting around the rim of the glass....Hag k
