Now...I will have no problem digging into this! Maybe I will just have the ingredients ready and you can whip it out so it will be fresh! That way I get to boss you around!

Oooo...that would've gone superbly well with the margarita night i hosted a few weeks back. Definately a keeper to have should a similar night arise i'm sure!

so complicated too many ingredients, i tend to stick to simplicity, in other words for a seafood cocktail i mainly prefer simply standard cocktail shrimp with heinz cocktail sauce within reach! sometimes complexity fits a purpose though

Last night, the folks who had never tasted this dish (which was almost everyone) would put a little in a glass as if just to try it to be polite, take a bite ... their eyes would light up and say something like "Wow! That is really good!!" and then head back for more. I must admit I doubled the Tabasco sauce and added some Jalapeno juice ... and I think we added an extra avocado to a double batch. It was eye-popping delicious!!!

All I can say is I was one that went back for seconds could have made a meal just from this dish alone.....
