Oh yay, Carroll! I’m glad you found a way to make it taste just like you hoped it would. Bon appetit!

Well, I have a post-lunch leftover success to report! The secret ingredient my mouth was missing turned out to be thinly sliced celery. I added some of that, refreshed the mix with some additional lime and a lot more cilantro, and scarfed it all up still cold from the fridge. It was delicious! In retrospect, I have a feeling some of my original antipathy may have been related to warm avocado. I think my palate is so used to that being a chilled salad ingredient instead of a hot dish component, that I balked (inappropriately) at the entire thing. In any case, this turned into a really tasty and unusual salad — most definitely a “keeper” Next time I won’t be quite such a chicken about the cayenne, and I might just try putting a pinch of cumin into the mix as well. We’ll be seeing this one again very soon!

Carroll: I actually didn’t tweak it at all, because I loved the simple, yet satisfying combo of heat, tang, freshness, and creaminess. But yes, a dash of cumin might be wonderful to add. Even some toasted mustard seeds might be nice. And if you want more crunch, you probably could add some shredded cabbage dressed with a little oil, salt, and lime. You also could saute some onions with the shrimp until they were golden, but still a little crisp.
