INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL POT LUCK BLOG HOP!!!

Welcome to this fabby Pot Luck Housewarming party, organised by the lovely DEB over at PAPERTURTLE.

If you have arrived at me from BEVERLY at BE GLORIOUS, you are on the right track...if you've dropped by just by chance, the Hop starts HERE, with Deb herself!

First of all, welcome to my home here in Sunny Spain!

I have ~~cleared~~ shuffled a few things around the dining table (my scrapping table!) in the Naya......that's the large glass-fronted area on the front of the house, so that we can eat there.

It's ZESTY LIME SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD from me today..... I'm hoping someone's bringing the Margaritas!!

Here's what you'll need:

Jumbo Prawns

Red Pepper

Tomato

Avocado

Onion (red is better, but I forgot to get some so I've used a white one for the pic!)

Lime

Coriander (Cilantro)

Jalapeno Pepper (I'm just using paste mixed with my oili, as they are almost impossible to get here!)

Olive Oil

I haven't given quantities, as I reckon with salad you just use as much as you have/fancy at the time.

METHOD

1.In a small bowl combine red onion, lime juice, olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper. Let them marinate at least 5 minutes to mellow the flavor of the onion.

2.In a large bowl combine chopped shrimp, avocado, tomato, jalapeño. Combine all the ingredients together, add cilantro and gently toss. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Easy-Peasy...and it should look something like this
