Utensils Used
| 1. Boil seafood mix in 4 to 5 cups of water for 5 to 10 minutes. | 2. Drain, setting aside broth. | 3. Cool both seafood and broth. | 4. Prepare tomatoes, onions, cilantro, cucumbers and jalapenos. | 5. In a large bowl, mix well. Add seafood mix. | 6. Add vinegar and juice from limes, broth, ketchup and vegetable juice. | 7. Season with cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. | 8. Add avocados. | 9. Serve with tostadas or saltine crackers. (I served it with extra sour sourdough crusty rolls). | 10. TIPS:. | 11. 1) I purchased the seafood as a mix from Food4less for around $3.50 a pound. It was already pre-sliced and ready to go. This is a more economical and convenient alternative than purchasing the oysters, squid and such individually. | 12. 2) Most recipes call for Clamato juice but since we are using the broth that absorbed the flavors from the seafood when they were boiled, vegetable juice such as V-8 will do. | 13. 3) Beware! I found the 5 jalapenos called for in this recipe to be beyond my “spice” tolerance. Modify the amount according to taste. | 14. 4) Of course, get a cold bottle of Corona beer and enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
