Shrimp Ceviche

This is not a true ceviche as I do not "cook" the shrimp solely in lime juice for the obvious health reasons. In addition, I add a few non-traditional ingredients but all in all, it's fairly close.


Ingredients:

1 pound of small barely cooked shrimp (I'm not sure of this amount as I usually eyeball stuff... I think this is close, you may want a little less)
2/3 pieces of garlic (diced)
5 green onions (whites and a bit of the green stem chopped)
12 key limes (8 regular if you must)
1 avocado (cut into small pieces)
.5 bunch of cilantro (chopped)
.5 cucumber (peeled, seeded and cut into small pieces)
2 bunches of cherry tomatoes cut into quarters (you can use regular tomatoes if you have to but it just won't be the same)

In a glass or ceramic bowl, mix together all ingredients except avocado and limes. Squeeze juice from limes and mix again. If you do not have a citrus squeezer then I would add four or so more limes to this receipt as it is difficult to get all of the juice out of those suckers otherwise. Cover and place in refrigerator for an hour, stirring twice during this time. After mixture has been in the refrigerator for an hour, add avocado pieces and serve immedietely.

I generally serve this in a glass as it seems to be the best way to go however, you could serve in large bowl and chips if you like.
