Instructions: Standard warnings about parasites, etc. but weve been over all that discussion so Ill skip all that and post just the recipes. Also you will note that the chile content of these recipes is minimal or even noted as

"optional"!!??? (The _Post_ also spells the word for the fruit "chili;" its getting so the concept of "literate journalist" is almost a contradiction in terms...) Well, I reckon all of us know what needs to be added in each case-or we can do some trial and error adjusting. See recipes "SAIGONNAIS SCALLOP SEVICHE", "ROOF TERRACE RESTAURANT CARIBBEAN SEAFOOD ESCABECHE", "MUSSEL SEVICHE", and "LOBSTER SEVICHE".

(No personal attribution given; The Old Anglers Inn is a fairly good, quite expensive restaurant in the Maryland suburbs, out along the Potomac River) 4 servings.

Boil shrimp in water to cover until just done. Do not overcook. Rinse under very cold water and drain. Combine shrimp with oil, Clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, avocado, cilantro, onion, chile, lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin. Garnish with wedges of lime and cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortilla chips.
