Hi all, I know this isn't a cooking forum but wanted to share with you a great recipe of my very own shrimp cocktail.

I love shrimp cocktail but don't care for the Mexican style and hate the Anglo style so here is what I do.

Large bowl
2 cucumbers
4 celery stalks
2 bunches of green onions
2 avocados
1 bag of cooked deveined shrimp (not the itty bitty kind the next size up)
2 lemons
1 bottle of Clamato
1 bottle cocktail sauce
celantro (optional)

Place shrimp in large bowl and rinse twice. Drain water and cut 1 lemon and squeeze over the top of shrimp, leave it.

In a large bowl cut up cucumber, celery and onions into small pieces, do the same with avocados. After cutting up the avocados, squeeze last lemon over veggies. Add Clamato, cocktail sauce and secret ingredient 1 can RO-TEL diced tomatoes with green chillies (I use mild). Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Thro your shrimp in after double checking for left over veins, they're gross! I don't care for celantro but you can chop it up and put some in if you like. Eat with crackers or you can ladle it over a cube of cream cheese, mmmmmmmm yummy!

That is a large wood bowl that you made yourself, right?[}]

Now you went and did it, Becca. You made me drool all over my keyboard. MILD Rotel, MILD?[?] Wimp![}][] BTW, that's one of my secret chili ingredients.[]

I'll have to give that a try, but I like plan old cocktail mix, ketchup with lots of horseradish sauce in it...[]

Dang Chuck, haven't graduated to bowls, YET.

Yeah billy, I use mild, I like flavor not hot. Sometimes I split the batch up and make a bowl a little hotter for the guys. Billy, I knew I liked you for some unknown reason[}] I put Ro-tel in my chili beans, spaghetti and guacamole just to name a few. I didn't realize that it was so well known.
