Shrimp Pico De Gallo

If you're a frequent reader of my blog, it is probably not surprising that I enjoy Mexican cuisine.  One of the easiest recipes to make is pico de gallo. Pico, or salsa fresca, has less liquid than other salsas.

This recipe takes the classic salsa fresca and ups the ante...it adds some shrimp!  This was one of those recipes that I didn't quite write anything down; I just sort of added ingredients as I felt inspired.  I like cilantro, so I add more than other people probably prefer. 

Ingredients
2 large tomatoes
1/4 red onion
Cilantro, to taste (I used about 1/4 cup, chopped)
1/2 lb cooked large shrimp
Juice from one lime
Salt
Chili powder

1. Cube tomatoes. Dice onion. Chop up the shrimp into small pieces.

2. Add the tomatoes, onions,  cilantro, lime, and spices to a bowl. Combine all ingredients and let it sit for a few minutes.

3. Add the shrimp and toss the ingredients together. Add additional cilantro, salt, and chili powder as needed.  Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

I served this as a side dish to a bowl of Santa Fe Chicken Soup from Campbell's. It was a quick, easy, and delicious meal!
