SORT-OF A MEXCIAN SHRIMP SALAD

Okay..........first, yesterdays Tomato Aspic........I forgot the sliced green olives......okay without them but better with. This has been an extremely frustrating day!  First........my computer was giving me problems......then my camera absolutely will not take real close, close-ups.........then I was painting (an oil painting) and I spilled the brush cleaner liquid.  Bob has just driven me crazy with his opinions about everything! I call him the Commercial Police.........if there is a commercial that he thinks is misrepresenting something........he will go on and on and on..........
Tomorrow will be a better day.  I hope.

One good thing about the day........is this shrimp salad.  Its so simple. Boil up some shell pasta, drain. Chop a little green pepper and a few green onions. Dump the pasta, green peppers and green onions and some cherry tomato's (you can cut in half if you want) and a 1/2 lb or more of cooked shrimp in a large bowl. I am sure you all know how to do that.  BUT.......this dressing is what makes this special.  I love this dressing..........Depending on how much you are making........about 3/4 cup mayo, some chopped cilantro, a little cumin and some mx salsa. I have never liked American made salsas but use whatever you want.......I use Mx Caesar salsa by Herdez in the Mx part of the grocery store.  I have used it for years.........usually make my own for taco's but use the canned to add to things I am cooking. Mix it all up real well and put in frig for a couple hours before serving...........Great lunch or dinner on a hot day.
