This will be my first published recipe. :lol:

A light, refreshing gazpacho style seafood appetizer. I feel it would work well with "lime-cooked" seafood substituted so I hope someone will give it a whirl.
This is of substantial size and is quite impressive:


1/3 cucumber diced small
2 stalks celery chopped in food processor but not pureed
2 green onions chopped small
large pinch cilantro chopped
4 oz V-8, Clamato or tomato juice
dash worcestershire
dash Tapatio
dash Guacamaya
dash Tobasco
pinch pepper
pinch celery seed
pinch paprika

stir and gently add seafood:

4oz cooked pink shrimp or cut -up prawns
or:
4 oz cooked crab
or:
4 x-small oysters
or:
4 oz your choice but careful with raw seafoods

Served in a tall parfait glass and garnished on top with a tomato man or a few sprigs fresh cilantro.
