California Farm Avocado Shrimp Salad
This one is an adaptation of a foolproof appetizer, from my friend Susan, who is a scientist with four perfect guest dinner dishes. I think she keeps a lab book for that -grin.
I just make a cup of my own fresh mayonnaise, add peppersauce to this dish and plant the avocado pits in a window sill box as a future handsome indoor or outdoor plant. Works every time.
