1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped jalapenos or a pinch cayenne, optional

SPICY SHRIMP AVOCADO SALAD

I found this recipe on the California Avocado Commission's website. It is a spicy, refreshing salad that can serve 3 as an entree. It can serve 6 as a compliment to any mexican meal. Preparation time does not include the chill time for the salsa. This salsa is a real keeper! Use it for chips, eggs, tacos, steaks, burgers... It is worth saving this recipe for the salsa alone!
