Wow... this is amazing! It's a cross between a shrimp cocktail and Mexican salsa. We were a little unsure of the mango and avocado pairing but it was fabulous. The shrimp soak up the flavors from the horseradish, onions, and jalapeno. This will be great to bring to a party or to have for a snack on a relaxing evening home.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 jar(s) jars of salsa (16 oz each)
2 Tbsp hot sauce
2 to 4 Tbsp prepared horseradish to taste (we actually like 6 to 8)
1/4 c chopped jalapenos (from a jar)
1 good sized fist-full of cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch salt
1/2 c diced red onion
3 medium roma tomatoes, diced
1 large peeled and chopped mango
1/2 lb frozen popcorn sized shrimp, peeled and deviened
1 or 2 large avocados, chopped
4 Tbsp lime juice
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
  • 2. Toss in tomatoes, onions, mango, and shrimp.
  • 3. Chop avocado and toss with lime juice. Leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. This will slow down the browning process of the avocado.
  • 4. Add avocado lime juice to mixture and toss.
  • 5. Serve with tortilla chips.
  • 6. **NOTE** For a very impressive presentation, I like to serve this in a margarita glass placed on top of a dessert sized plate with some of the avocado mixed in and some sprinkled on top. A lime wedge on the edge of the glass and tortilla chips around the plate. Makes a great appetizer for a dinner party or a great dip for a big party!
