Shrimp Salsa

Shrimp Salsa

2 pounds boiled shrimp, peeled, deveined

(I used frozen cocktail shrimp)

4 or 5 avocados, chopped

8 small tomatoes, chopped

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

6 green onions, chopped

2 to 4 jalapeño chiles, seeded, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1 jar cocktail seafood sauce

¼ cup ketchup

Salt to taste

Fresh ground pepper to taste

Combine the shrimp, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions,

jalapeño chiles and lime juice in a bowl and mix gently. Stir in the

seafood sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper. Chill, covered, until

serving time. Serve with (thick) tortilla chips.

This makes a lot. You may want to half it if you’re just making it

for your own family.

Enjoy and have a blessed Christmas holiday!

We need at least 20 and up to 40 people for the night. If we want food with the wine, we need to order a week or so ahead of time. We will give out more information over the next few weeks.

Second Annual POF Christmas Cookie Bake

Hi again!

I just wanted to let you know that the time for the

cookie bake is set for 11am on Saturday, December 20th.

So far, Kami, Nanci, Lynn, Angela, Olga, and I will be here,

but we’d love to have more of you join us.

My address is: 426 Rivercove Drive

Garland, TX 75044

My phone # is: 972-530-3809

The easiest way to get here is:

Take 190 (George Bush) east.

Take the North Garland Ave exit (the sign may say Garland Ave N).

Turn left on North Garland.

Turn right on Muirfield ( just after passing a Baptist church).

Turn right at the second stop sign (Rivercove Drive).

Our house is on the left just before the street curves

and just after you pass Thunderbrook.

Another clue is that we currently have no trees in the front yard!
