Place the tomatoes into the water one at a time removing them as soon as the skin has popped (less than a minute). With slotted spoon transfer them to a colander. Place under cold running water. Peel the skins off and dice the tomatoes. Place the diced tomatoes into a large bowl Dice all the remaining vegetables and add them to the tomatoes. Add the vinegar, V8 juice and lime juice. Chop the parsley and cilantro and add to the whole mix. Add salt and pepper and the Tabasco to taste. With a stick blender gently puree till there are still visible pieces remaining but the sizes are no larger than peas. Lime Cilantro Shrimp: Combine all of the liquid ingredients and pour over the peeled, tail-on shrimp. Cover and allow to marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator. Stir every 15 minutes. Preheat the grill. With tongs, place the shrimp on the grill and grill about 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and serve immediately on the side of a glass filled with Gazpacho. Tips: If you do not have a stick blender you really need to put that on your birthday wish list. They are amazing. Mine is over 20 years old and I use it for everything from soups to salad dressings. They are inexpensive and just so handy. If you don't have one you can use a blender or food processor to puree some of the mixture to get it down to the right consistency. These tasty shrimp were developed as a compliment to a nice cold cup of Gazpacho. They are full of flavor and fresh, highlighting the wonderful combination of cilantro and lime. Tail on shrimp make it easy to eat as an appetizer and besides that they look cool. Innkeeper's Comment: "It is interesting how we develop opinions about things both good and bad. Gazpacho has never been on my list of favorites and the only reason I can think of is 12th grade gourmet cooking class. That was the year that the Home Ec department (OK.. so I was in High School when it was still called Home Ec!) ran a cooking competition. I love a good competition especially one where I think I have a good chance to win. For this entry I created this amazing layered meringue baked to perfection and layered with lime curd and lemon curd and finished off in the middle with a mix of berries and scented cream. It was stunning if I do say so myself. It came in second. Ron won with his Gazpacho! I have had an aversion to Gazpacho ever since. So here, years later I am playing with Gazpacho and... news flash.. absolutely love it. Cold, crisp and refreshing it is the perfect lunch soup or starter to a great meal. Use the freshest ripest tomatoes you can find, perfect for the plenty of summer just around the corner. I have paired it here with a tail on shrimp soaked in lime and cilantro."
