A "gringo" version of a traditional Peruvian dish. It is a cross between ceviche and gazpacho, and a great light meal for spring or summer!
Ingredients:
2 pounds medium shrimp (raw or already cooked)
6- 8 lemons juiced squeezed out.
2 - 3 cucumbers, diced
2 avocados, diced
1 small bottle of Clamato (spicy if you like it spicy)
2-3 roma tomatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
1-2 jalapeno pepper with seeds taken out, cut into tiny pieces ( if you like spicy)
1 bunch cilantro
2 - 3 dashes hot sauce
salt and pepper
Preparation:
If using raw shrimp place in a large bowl with juice from the 6 - 8 lemons. Let sit in refrigerator over night. If using cooked shrimp place shrimp in large bowl with lemon juice from 6 - 8 lemons and set in refrigerator for 2 - 3 hours. Take from fridge and place all of the remaining ingredients in bowl. Mix together and place back in fridge for an hour. Serve with saltine or ritz crackers.
