    That's a shame your DH wasn't thrilled with it - my own would love the shrimp, lime, jalapeno, then complain about the avocado I think, but I've copied and added the recipe to my files :)

    Thanks for posting it!

    That's a lot of cilantro. I would cut it way down or eliminate it since I don't care for it. But the rest looks like something I would like.
