Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
This shrimp cocktail recipe is similar to one I first tried in San Antonio. I could never find a recipe that recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with the perfect combination of ingredients. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
- 1 ½ cups tomato and clam juice cocktail
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
- salt to taste
- 1 ripe avocado - peeled, pitted and chopped
Directions:
- Gather all ingredients.
- Place shrimp in a large bowl. Stir in red onion, cilantro, and garlic.
- Add tomato and clam juice, ketchup, lime juice, horseradish, and hot pepper sauce; mix well to combine. Season with salt.
- Gently stir in avocado. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.

If you want to serve this dish more as a meal, bulk up the remoulade with about 2 cups of julienned celeriac and a half cup of chopped celery leaves.
Hot Soba Noodle Soup with Salmon Cucumber and Togarashi
The beauty of soba noodle soup is that all you have to cook are the soba noodles and a strongly flavored broth. Then you can top it with almost anything you like. I like to make a big batch of dashi, the Japanese broth made by simmering just two ingredients: the thick seaweed kombu and then bonito flakes. I freeze some of it for miso soup, and then flavor the rest in the traditional style for noodle soups, aka kakejiru, with soy sauce and mirin, plus a little salt and sugar.
