Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Make the avocado spread: Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (can be made several hours ahead).

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

What a delicious and beautiful appetizer! The only thing I did differently was to chop the shrimp instead of leaving it whole. For "eatability" purposes I thought it would be better - and it was a huge hit.
