Confession…

I’m not a big shrimp fan – – mostly because of the texture.

(Actually, I’m not really into seafood, in general, if I’m being totally honest. It’s just so “fishy,” ya know?!)

So the fact that I enjoy this dish, really says something about its appeal. LOL!

Plus, “score” for Chad because he likes shrimp…but I never cook it because, as I mentioned…not a fan.

Well, we made this dish last week …and we’re making it again this week, so I guess I’m officially on the “shrimp train” now. (Luckily for Chad! Ha!)

If you like lime and cilantro (and cumin), you’ve got to try this dish! If you like shrimp, that probably helps, too. But, apparently, that’s not necessary! Hee, hee!

Black pepper, to taste
3 TBSP freshly chopped cilantro

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare rice (if using).

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

INGREDIENTS:
-1 medium avocado (nice and ripe!)

DIRECTIONS:

Mash avocado in a bowl with a fork. Add garlic and salt (and lime juice, if using). Mix well and enjoy!

Serves 1-2 people as a dip (or more if just using as a condiment). This makes a great snack served with raw bell pepper slices …or chips, of course, if that’s more your thing! It’s super tasty on burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches, too!

Stir in some salsa for a quick “chunky” guacamole! (Costco carries a really tasty organic Kirkland brand with no “mystery” ingredients on the label!)
