Shrimp ceviche cocktail

2 bags of small cooked shrimp (de-tailed and de-vained)
1 lemon
* enough limes to get 1/4-1/2 cup of juice
1 small thing of cilantro
1 whole cucumber
3 whole jalapenos (more or less depending on how hot you like it)
3 celery stalks
1 small red onion
1 bottle of Calmato juice
Tabasco to taste

Boil shrimp in water for 10 minutes to insure they are cooked and shock them in ice water after to cool. Squeeze lemon and limes into a measuring cup until you get about 1/4-1/2 cup (depending on taste buds, I prefer a strong lime taste so I like more) of juice. Once juice is gathered from lemon and limes marniate the shrimp with it in the fridge while the other ingredients are being prepared (the longer the better). Cut cucumber and celery into small cubes and thin slice cilantro, jalapenos and onion. Pour half amount of Clamato into a big bowl and add veggies. After shrimp has marinated to desired taste add to mixture, stir and serve chilled. Add tabaso to taste. Great with chips or crackers or just eat with a spoon.

This recipe is pretty easy and can be modified to your own taste. The first time I made it, I did not cut the veggies as small as I would like. I also added to much cilantro, even though I love it, just a lot green. Still working on "perfecting" it but it is still a good base to start with.
