Ceviche

I make a similar Mexican shrimp cocktail, but it's spendy to do so.

2-3 lbs shrimp
1 large can of baby clams
1-2 lbs of imitation crab meat
6 Avocados, diced
6 cucumbers, sliced then quarter diced
6 California green chilis, diced really small
6 Yellow chilis, diced really small
1 Bushel Cilantro
6 Tomatos, diced
Large Red Onion, chopped small
2lb Ketchup
Juice of 6 Lemons
Juice of 6 Limes
Salt/Pepper

Tapatio and Crackers!

Notes from over the years of making it:

Sear the Shrimp, don't use pre-cooked. If seared in butter, drain juice (butter fat will coagulate in the cocktail)
Wash clams really good
DO NOT add seeds from peppers, do not use Jalapeno's
Mix the veges as you add them
Fresh tomatoes only, not canned
Lemon/Lime juice in bottled form is fine <--- is key to getting that perfect tang
Red onion looks nice, sweet onions taste better
Add Avocados and Tomatoes at the end of prep, after seasoning to taste (so you don't bruise them up)

Let sit overnight for best results.
Cost is usually $80 or so.
DO NOT TAKE ANYWHERE EXCEPT TO FAMILY FUNCTIONS. Otherwise, there will be a party invite every week

Decisions, decisions...

It's done and fantastic, I made adjustments for my taste and scaled the amount WAY back from C-2's version... I will adjust the salt/pepper in the AM... AND Jordy just gave me an idea of what is missing...

Spent about that much on some full on basura blanca green chile lobster mac and cheese ones. Picked up some HUGE tails that totaled about $60 on their own (Phoenix) and they were about the size of my arm, some green chiles that were fresh roasted, on the grill with the lobster tails, a couple of boxes of blue box mac and cheese, a good bottle of tequila (for lobster flavor, and our flavor) and bang.

^^^ thank you, that is exactly what this needs, a good pinch of smoky chipotle powder to go with the minced seranos that I put in... ^^^

I use about 3/4 lb of minced shrimp and 3/4 lb of minced chunk crab meat, 2 avacados, one puree'd and one minced, 1/2 cucumber puredd- 1/2 minced, one red bell pepper, one big sweet onion, cilantro, 4 roma tomatoes along with the rest of the chunky ingredients and lemon/lime juice... salt/peppa/garlique'
