I've got some shrimped that are already cooked (I bought them that way, frozen) and I want to do some sort of chilled chile lime shrimp salad, but I need some help! What are your ideas?

Re: Chile Lime Shrimp...help!
Lime mayo is pretty popular in certain parts of the country. I'd make your own by adding lime juice to mayo and then adding chili powder to that. -

Thanks Scott. I'll try that. I've got some awesome chili powder from Heidi.Comment

Re: Chile Lime Shrimp...help!
Heidi's chili powder is pure ground chili peppers. Beyond that, I think a little of the other ingredients in traditional chili seasoning, specifically cumin and oregano, might be nice. If memory serves me correctly, chili powder spice blends are normally in the real of
16 parts ground chili peppers
2 parts ground cumin
1 part oregano
Cumin mellows quite a bit when it's cooked as does oregano. Since this is an uncooked recipe, I'd cut the the cumin and the oregano in half.Comment
