Chili Lime Shrimp With Avocado Crema Food

CHILI LIME SHRIMP WITH AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine shrimp marinate - chili powder, salt, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil.
• Pat dry defrosted shrimp and transfer to a zip lock bag or medium bowl. Add marinade to shrimp and coat evenly. Let shrimp sit in the marinade for ~30 minutes. If you are short on time, skip the marinating step.
• Heat skillet with vegetable oil (see Note 1). Once skillet is heated, add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side. Flip to the other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked (cooked shrimp typically curls up and is no longer translucent). Remove from heat promptly.
• I typically make this while the shrimp is marinating to save time.
• Bring all avocado crema ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend everything up. Add more salt if needed, and 1 tbsp of water at a time to thin it out if needed.
• Transfer to a small bowl.
• Drizzle Avocado Crema onto shrimp or serve it on the side!
