Recipe: No Shrimp Cocktail


I love me some spicy, refreshing No Shrimp Cocktail! Sometimes I make this big bowl and eat it all in one serving, and the best part about this is I don't feel one bit guilty! Just one of the many perks about a raw vegan lifestyle. I modified this recipe from my sister in laws Shrimp Cocktail recipe, and it has became quite the hit amongst my family members. With low prep this hearty tomato dish takes about 15 minutes to whip up. This just goes to show you how easy a raw food lifestyle can be. This recipe is perfect for those hot summer day's when you want something cool and refreshing.

Ingredients:

About 15 roma tomatoes
3 juiced lemons (less or more to taste)
1 avocado chopped
1 cucumber chopped 
1 bunch of chopped cilantro
1/2 to 1 minced serrano chili (depending how hot you like it, can leave out also)
1/2 cup of corn
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 orange juiced
salt to taste

Puree 8 tomatoes in blender, and pour into a large bowl. Chop the remaining tomatoes and add to the bowl, as well as all the remaining ingredients. You may want to set aside a small amount of corn and cilantro for a garnish. You can also throw in your favorite hot sauce if you want some extra spice. Serve immediately or chill before serving.

Enjoy!
