SPICY ASIAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL

I was looking for another Asian-flavored appetizer to go with the Turkey Lettuce Wraps and found this on theperfectpantry.com.  It was a nice change from the usual tomato sauce based cocktail, and it fits nicely with the South Beach diet!  Susie requested the recipe so here it is girlfriend!

1 lb. jumbo shrimp, precooked, defrosted, peeled and deveined
Juice of ½ lime
1-1/2 t. sambal oelek (chili garlic sauce)
1 t. reduced-sodium soy sauce
½ t. sesame oil
½ t. agave nectar
2 c. diced English (seedless) cucumber
1 large avocado, diced
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
2 t. roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves

In a mixing bowl combine and whisk the lime juice, sambal oelek, soy sauce, sesame oil and agave nectar.  To the sauce in the bowl, add the shrimp and remaining ingredients.  Stir gently to combine.  Chill the shrimp cocktail for 1 hour before serving.
