Quick ~N~ Easy Ceviche`

Sometimes ya just crave childhood comfort foods. Most of mine are mexican or Italian, which is either too fattening or to rough on my digestive system. An exception to that rule (cause there’s lotsa rules round here) is Ceviche. I raided the fridge and went to work. Of course im in the middle of quilting but a girls gotta eat right? I'm trying to be good here, but I really want a warm tortilla with butter:(
So I'm making the right choice today. I smiled to myself as I strewed items all over the counter because Blima always says, where’s your recipe for that? I kind of shrug my shoulders and say "in my head"? So I will attempt to type it out for you, but there really isnt a hard and fast rule about it, Wierd huh? I better make one up. People will talk.
Guilt free, as avocados’ are the good fat..........

Ceviche ( say vee che)

*one firm but ripe Haas avocado, cubed
*About a cup of juicy and sweet red tomatoes like grape, diced
*half a red onion finely diced
*half of an English cucumber, sliced in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced.
*one jalepeno finely diced ( habanero if you dare)(u can sub green bell pepper if u dont like hot)
*1 cup or more peeled and de-veined shrimp (bay shrimp too)
* About 1/4th Cup finely chopped Cilantro
*salt to taste
*Juice of one lemon, or lime

Fold first 7 ingredients in a bowl, as not to disturb each other. Salt to taste, and finish with lemon to not only preserve freshness, but also to cook fish if need be.
Also, this can be made with Any raw fish or crustation. Couple hours in the fridge, its all cooked! I have made this with Salmon, crab, shrimp, Talapia, ling cod. The crab being my all time favorite:)
A very pretty and delcious cocktail or appetizer served with celery or chips, or in my case........... Lunche`!!

*Note to yourself: Serve within a few hours.
