TEXAS Shrimp Dip~

My, oh my~ Great stuff!! 

This is the PERFECT Texas Summer, 'poolside' dip for parties!!  Nice and CHILLED, but spicy!!  SOoooo easy to make, and so very yummy!! This is another recipe I make where people always ask for the recipe!!  Sometimes my teen boys ask for THIS for dinner, and nothing else!  Dip for dinner, poolside, while we all chill, and talk!  Can't get much better than that!!  (OK~ it's not JUST 'perfect' for Texas folk, but any backyard party!! I promise~ you'll love it! :)

Texas Shrimp Dip

2 pounds frozen, cooked, peeled salad shrimp- thawed and picked through

12 Oz. bottle Red Devil Hot Sauce- or any other Louisiana hot sauce

1 small red onion, diced very small (almost minced)

2 large ripe tomatoes, diced into smaller pieces

1/2-3/4 bunch of cilantro, minced

The juice of 1 large lime

4 ripe avocados, cut into nickel size chunks

3 Tbsp of sugar~ YES, 3 Tbsp with a capital T!

After you thaw shrimp, put them into bowl with  all other ingredients, except for the avocado! 

Stir well, and chill in fridge for 30 minutes, if you have time.  When ready to serve, cut avocados up, and stir into shrimp dip!  Careful not to smash avocados~ 

This is big enough for a nice size crowd, so sometimes, when it's a smaller get together, we keep half of the dip chilling at home, and only serve the other half with only 2 avocados tossed in.  We eat the rest the next day, adding the other 2 fresh avocados in when ready to eat!!  We serve this awesome dip with Tostitos Hint of Lime Chips!  It's AWESOME!  A marriage made in dip heaven!! :)
