I can't believe I haven't reviewed this; I've made it many times! Easy to prepare, and nice and light for hot days. I use the jicama and the cucumber, and usually double the hot sauce. I don't leave the shrimp in the 1/2 c. lime juice for an hour, either; I just throw it all together and then let it refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
