2 medium ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
3 tablespoons jalapeno hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large garlic clove, pushed through a press
Pinch cayenne pepper
1. Cut up avocados and place them directly into a food
processor. Pure with hot sauce and salt until smooth.
Heat grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, rub shrimp with oil, garlic and cayenne.
Thread 3 shrimp onto each of 8 skewers, leaving small
spaces between shrimp. (If using wooden skewers,
soak in water for 1 hour before using so they wont
burn.)
3. Grill shrimp covered, about 2 1/2 minutes per side, until
golden and just cooked through. Serve with avocado
dip.
Creamy, spicy avocado dip is a perfect partner for garlicky
grilled shrimp. This delicious appetizer can be served piping hot
from the grill or at room temperature.
