Donna's Shrimp Guacamole Salad

Hello to you all during this very special time of year!  We have been blessed with so many friends and family, and the holidays is a perfect time to get together and celebrate.  The inspiration for this salad came from my homemade guacamole recipe but adding shrimp as a twist and leaving the ingredients on the chunky side.  I tripled this recipe to take to our friends', Margaret and Keith's, Christmas Eve Brunch and it complemented the brunch menu nicely.  Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah to everyone!  Best, Donna:
