Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Hass avocados, ripe
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped cilantro, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the avocado puree. Scoop out the flesh of the ripe Hass avocados into a blender or food processor.
Add the diced jalapeño, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately alongside the spicy Hass avocado puree.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
