2 or 3 types of lettuce --
     Iceberg, Romaine, Boston, Radicchio
1 or 2 Avocados - optional, but delicious

In a large wooden salad bowl, crush garlic. Add shrimp, tomatoes and olive mix. Toss with cheese - save a little for garnishing. Add crabmeat gently, trying not to break, lemon juice and zest. Chill! When ready to serve, break up lettuce and toss gently with salad mix. Top with extra cheese. Serve with warm toasted saltines.
