capt. mike - 4-6-2008 at 07:39 AM

ok.......i like this! think i'll wait a couple of horas and see what else come up.

wonder if a few sprinkles of chilled white Zinfandel might add to it?!

If you should get a chance;
There is a little restauarant in Los Planos (about 45 miles SE from La Paz) that is on the right as you head south, right across from the mercado.
Their campechana has shrimp, squid, and more and is absolutely to die for.
If you get near Los Planos it's worth the stop !!

I don't know what the mix ratio is but many places here use Calmato, Katsup & Lime for the base then you can add Worcestershire Sauce, Horseradish, chopped green onion, chopped avocado, cilantro & hot sauce to taste. Don't over cook the shrimp. Or, I like to put the shrimp in my civichi mix and cook'm in that for awhile and adjust the lime in the base sauce to taste. I.... also like to but a fist full of garlic cloves in the civichi mix. OH, I'm hungry!

We make these up. It's so fast and yummy.

Half of avacado with skin on. Pour a small amount of good chili sauce into cavity. On that pile either cooked pink shrimp or ceviche style seafood. A squirt of lime on top. Bingo, good ta go!

Good thing I redeemed myself with a good recipe...the thought of that white zin was killing me!!! And why the heck do they call pink wine "white"??
