Recipe game plan:
As very busy people we are, here are a couple of tips to help you get ahead of the game:.
1. Seafood mixture can be done way ahead of time but not more than 8 hours. Keep well covered in refrigerator and let rich room temperature 30 minutes before using it..
2. Onion, cilantro, tomato and jalapeno can also be chopped long before as long as they are kept well covered in a refrigerator and in separate containers. If using small glass or ceramic ramekins is best..
3. Guacamole has to be mixed last minute. (No cheating or it will be awful!)
