Ingredients

1 pound Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup ketchup
1 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice, plus 2 tbsp
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Mexican (add more to taste)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus several sprigs for garnish
1/2 medium white onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup jícama and/or cucumber, diced and peeled
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
Several lime slices for garnish
Tostadas, chips or saltine crackers for serving

Steps:

Bring 1 quart (1L) of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and let the water return to a simmer and poach for an additional minute or two. Scoop the shrimp out and place onto a rimmed baking sheet and chill 30 minutes. The shrimp can be made a day in advance and chilled until ready to serve.
For the sauce, stir together the ketchup, lime juice, the Mexican hot sauce, olive oil and cilantro in a large bowl. This step can be completed a day in advance, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
In a small strainer, rinse the onion under cold water, then shake off the excess liquid, and add to the sauce. Peel, dice and add the jicama; dice and add the cucumber. Stir in the chilled shrimp and the avocado right before serving.
Garnish with lime and serve with tostadas, chips, or saltine crackers.

I first tried something similar to this in San Antonio and could never find a recipe that really recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with this. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!
