Peel and dice vegetables and add to shrimp. Add tapatio sauce, V8 Juice and juice of lemons. Mix. Chill for one hour.
Serve in shrimp cocktail glass with chips, club crackers, etc. Wonderful comfort food and very easy to make.
cook's notes
This is simple, yummy, healthy, versatile and almost fool-proof. We go heavy on fresh tomatoes (having tomatoes from the garden) and avocados. We double the shrimp, are generous with cilantro and jalapeno (somewhat careful to keep the "broth" balanced) and add sliced celery. Feel free to toss in your favorite raw vegetable. Best served as the recipe says, but for leftovers my son loves it as hot soup; my husband heats it and pours it over pasta; my daughter drains the juice and drinks it for breakfast.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
