Ingredients
- 3 cups tomato chopped
- 2/3 cup onion red, chopped
- 1/2 cup yellow onion sweet, chopped fine
- 2/3 cup chili sauce Heinz brand
- 2/3 cup cilantro loosely chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 teaspoons jalapeno pepper finely diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 avocado diced
- 1/4 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Boil shrimp in water just until shrimp turn pink. Remove from boiling water and allow, shrimp to cool. Chop half of the shrimp into small pieces.
- In a medium sized bowl combine tomatoes, red onions, yellow onions, chili sauce, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, avocado, and salt. Stir to combine. Add half of the shrimp to the vegetable mixture.
- If desired you can place the remaining shrimp on top for decoration or you can stir all of the shrimp into the salsa. Serve with chips. Heinz chili sauce is sold in most grocery stores. It is sold near the cocktail sauce. Personally, I like to add extra cooked shrimp and avocado to this salsa.

Notes
- For the best texture and flavor, ensure that the shrimp are not overcooked—they should be just pink and opaque. I recommend adding the avocado just before serving to maintain its color and texture. While the recipe calls for a quarter pound of shrimp, I often double the amount for a more substantial appetizer. The salsa actually improves after about 30 minutes in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld. However, the avocado is best when fresh, so it's best not to prepare it too far in advance.
