Drain excess water, and then in a 1-quart saucepan cover again with fresh water and
Add 1 Tbs. SALT.
Simmer slowly until tender.
Drain and put through a food mill or sieve into a 3-quart bowl.
Add: 1/2 Ib. FRESH TOMATOES, cut in 1/4 inch cubes.
1/2 Ib. YELLOW ONIONS, finely chopped
1 Ib. COOKED SHRIMP, in 1/2-inch pieces
