Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbs hot sauce – any kind
2 tbs olive oil
juice of 2 limes
3 tbs cilantro – chopped, leaves only
2 avocados
20 plus medium raw peeled shrimp. I always do extras because everyone loves them!
1 tomato seeded and chopped small
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 small red chili pepper- diced small -I like jalepeno
salt and pepper
Metal skewers or wooden skewers soaked in water for grilling shrimp.
Instructions
- Slice avocados in half lengthwise. Remove pits
- Squeeze 1 lime onto the avocado halves, and then brush with about 1 tbs of olive oil
- In a small bowl, prepare the salsa by squeezing the remaining lime and adding in 1 tbs of olive oil
- Next add in the hot sauce, onion, tomato, cilantro, and some salt and pepper to taste
- Take a break and pre-heat your grill to medium-high heat
- In a separate bowl, mix the first 8 dry ingredients together. This will be the seasoning for your shrimp (paprika, cayenne, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, basil and pepper)
- Next, skewer your shrimp
- Now sprinkle the seasoning you just mixed over the shrimp and finish off with a drizzle of olive oil
- Place avocado halves (flesh side down) on the grill along with your shrimp
- Grill avocado for just a few minutes until you get nice grill marks
- Cook shrimp for about 3 minutes each side, or until pink
- Remove shrimp from skewers and lightly chop shrimp (about 4-5 shrimp per avocado)
- Combine with salsa mixture
- Place a spoonful or two of the salsa mixture in each avocado
- Enjoy the extra shrimp on the side with your avocado – so yummy
- Serve as side dish or appetizer. Either way, its gonna be awesome!
- Serves 4. Basically 1/2 avocado per person. Feel free to double the recipe for entertaining!
