Ingredients
1 16-oz bag of frozen shrimp; peeled, deveined, fully cooked3 medium to large tomatoes2 serrano chilis; seeded and diced2 avocados1 cup (or a bit more) fresh cilantro1 small or 1/2 large brown, red, or yellow onion1/2 cup of lime juice1/2 cup of lemon juiceSprinkle of Mrs Dash Caribbean Citrus seasoning1 tbsp salt for boiling water
Directions
1. Bring several cups of salted water to a boil. Add entire 16oz package of frozen shrimp to boiling water for just about two minutes. Try not to go any longer than that or the shrimp turn kind of rubbery. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain the shrimp completely and put into a non-reactive bowl with a half cup each of lime juice and lemon juice. Cover and rRefrigerate for 30-40 minutes.

2. Dice the onion. Remove the seeds and pulp from the chilis. Dice the chilis. Once the shrimp have been in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes, add the onion, chilis, and a sprinkle of Mrs Dash seasoning to the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for another 30-40 minutes.

3. Chop up about a cup (or a little more) cilantro and put it into a food processor. Add in three quartered tomatoes, 2 avocados, and the juice of one or two limes. Process to your own tastes and liking. Anything from a decent chop to a coarse puree will work perfectly.

4. After the 30-40 minutes have passed, add the tomato/avocado/cilantro mixture to the marinated shrimp. Mix together well and enjoy! Serve chilled with tortilla chips or tostada shells.
