Perfect Shrimp Cocktail (No Horseradish) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

9 medium cooked shrimp
1/4 cup cucumber
1/4 cup avocado (on the firm side but ripe)
2 large limes
1 teaspoon green onion (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons catsup
optional Tabasco sauce (i use about 2-3 drops )

Preparation

in a tall cup or a bowl squeeze the juice from both limes. juicy ones are best.
I like to chop the shrimp first and let it soak in the lime juice while I chop the other ingredients.
Chop avocado , cucumber and green onion to the size of your liking. I like everything pretty small.
add all to the bowl and mix in catsup ( and tabasco if you want ). Mix well and enjoy.
This recipes is really all to taste but the directions are just how I like it.
You can add tomatoes , white onion, cilantro more or less lemon juice and/or catsup If you like. You can also add more or less shrimp, avocado, and/or cucumber. add salt and pepper if you like.
remember if you use fresh raw clams to keep the juice from them for the cocktail . If you use abalone or octopus boil first.
