Hot and Cold Gazpacho with Grilled Shrimp

It looks like summer has really arrived here in the Pacific Northwest.  Today we made it over 80 degrees for the second day in a row! How about a nice cool Gazpacho with some grilled shrimp, tortilla chips and avocado?  Yummy!  And it didn't heat up the house making it!

24 shrimp
1/3 c. olive oil
2 limes, juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced
a handful of fresh cilantro
1 t. cumin
1 t. Old Bay Seasoning
1 t. paprika

Put the defrosted shrimp in a bowl.  Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over shrimp.  Marinate for 15 minutes.  Grill shrimp until cooked -about 6-7 minutes

Gazpacho:
1 can (28 0z.) tomatoes
1/3 c. peeled and diced cucumber
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cubanelle pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 c. chopped red onion
Put all ingredients in blender or food processor and process until smooth.

Pour into cold individual serving bowls.  Top with shrimp, a little chopped avocado and some crushed tortilla chips.
