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.
