Tex Mex Shrimp Cocktail Salad

This was a tasty, refreshing, quick salad to make. I think it might even be better using grilled shrimp, so I'll try it that way next time.

Ingredients:

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and tails removed (I used 26-30s)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
1-2 t hot pepper sauce (I used Frank's)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
2 T chopped cilantro (or more, to taste)
2 avocados, chopped

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 1-2 minutes. Remove shrimp from water and place in colander. Rinse under cold water and then drain.

2. Place cooked shrimp in a mixing bowl and add the red onion, tomatoes and cilantro.

3. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, lime juice and hot pepper sauce. Stir.

4. Pour sauce over shrimp mixture and toss lightly to coat. Chill about about hour.

5. Add chopped avocado and toss just before serving.
