Cinco de Mayo=Shrimpo de Gallo

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

Had an awesome potluck at work filled to the brim with healthy protein-riffic choices: tender beef and pork verde, beans and yummy toppings.  After work, I went to zumba with my girls or as Colette calls it "channeling your inner Shakira". :)  Love her..and love zumba.  The hour goes by so quickly and when I wear my body bugg, I can burn over 700 calories in one hour.  Sweet!

If you remember earlier in the week, I did my prep work for Shrimpo de Gallo, which is my favorite go-to recipe these days.  I swiped it from Ree aka the Pioneer Woman and you can snag your own copy here from P-Dub.

What better way to celebrate than with protein packed shrimp, healthy fats from the avocado and a fresh punch of lime juice and cilantro.  I am absolutely in love with this dish and seriously eat it almost every week since I have found it.  I hope you enjoy it too.  And if you get a chance, stay awhile and check out Ree's blog or her cookbook.  I was cracking up while reading it and thoroughly confused my hubby (insert head scratch as he ask "you're reading a COOKBOOK?").

Anyway, here is the awesome food porn picture.  Enjoy!




I always make a big batch of this because everyone goes crazy for it.  It's almost like some kind of memo goes out that I have some and suddenly I'm surrounded by hungry friends. I usually make mine without the tomatoes, just because they tend to not hold up as well.  I also have the best luck (leftover wise) by putting the lime juice directly onto my avocado chunks.  Seriously delicious!
