Shrimp Salsa
"I have been making this salsa for years, and love to make it for special occasions, it always is a hit. I also love to make it for gifts. I get some really pretty canning jars, fill them with the salsa, and decorate the jars. It's best to let the salsa chill 8 hours or overnight before use, to let the flavors meld together....mmmmmm"

This is always delicious. It makes alot so I freeze it and pull it out whenever I want a great snack, appetizer, or for a cookout. I add diced avocadoes. It gives it a little something extra. I have 3 picky kids but 2 out of 3 love it. -
I made and brought this salsa to a ladies happy hour in our neighborhood to very good reviews. My bowl was almost empty despite the excess of other dips and appetizers. No leftovers means 5* in my book! -
Awesome! I prefer to use a little larger shrimp. I use 1 cup of cocktail sauce instead of salsa and increase the fresh tomotoes and onions (and add 1 seeded/diced jalalpeno) for a fun variation. You can get really crazy and add 1 cup of cactus (I use the jar kind). Thanks for posting.

Hi, I live in Hot Springs, AR, but originally hail from the great windy city, Chicago. I have a house full of animals, all rescues, 8 parrots, 4 dogs and a cat. I am passionate about animals, especially ones that have been abused and neglected. If I had the money, I would buy a farm and fill it with animals that needed homes. I've been this way since I was a child and it seems I have passed my passion on to my daughter. How my poor husband puts up with us I don't know, buy he's a great guy and pitches right in with all the animals. He's a chef at a local resort (and an assistant zoo keeper when he gets home...lol).
