Recipes are always for sharing

Recipes are always for sharing, I mean what good are they if you keep them to yourself. I have lots of recipes and all I want to do is pass them along and get feedback from those who try them. This weeks winner is an easy shrimp salad served on ciabatta bread with avocado and tomatoes. I love to make this when I want something gourmet but don't feel like spending all night in the kitchen. This recipe is a guideline so if you don't like something thats in it feel free to skip it. If you love it or hate it let me know.

Shrimp Salad on Ciabatta

1 pound cooked shrimp, rough chopped
1 tblsp red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tblsp lemon juice, ( fresh if you have it)
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 avocado diced
2 tbl diced tomato
salt and pepper to taste
1 loaf ciabatta bread

1. In a bowl combine the mayo, lemon juice and cayenne pepper and mix
2. Add the shrimp, onion, avocado and tomato
3. Season with salt and pepper and set it aside for 15 minutes to let the flavors come together
4. Slice the bread 1/2 " thick pieces
5. Build your sandwich and enjoy

Regular potato chips or sweet potato chips are a nice compliment
