Spiced Shrimp With Avocado Oil Food

SPICY SHRIMP WITH AVOCADO PUREE

Steps:

• Use a paring knife to score along the inside curve of each shrimp so it lays flat. Put the shrimp in a medium bowl and toss with the lime zest, habanero, coconut oil and some pepper. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a large griddle. Thread each shrimp straight on a skewer; season with salt and remove most of the habanero. Put the shrimp on the griddle using foil to prop up the skewers so they don't touch the griddle and burn. Grill, turning occasionally, until cooked.
• Put the Avocado Puree in six 2- to 3-inch glasses or vessels. Add a shrimp skewer to each.
• Combine the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and cilantro and puree in a mini food processor. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.

SPICY SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

Remove the avocado with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of avocado oil into a small bowl, and reserve.
• Add the minced shallot to the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring until shallots begin to soften (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp, salt and pepper and jalapenos or cayenne, if using, and saute until shrimp are cooked through (3-4 minutes).
• Remove from heat and spoon the shrimp into the bowl with the Avocado pieces. Add the chives and cilantro and fold together gently, just to combine the ingredients. With a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining oil in the skillet into the bowl with the reserved avocado oil. Whisk in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste to make a dressing. Toss some of the dressing with the romaine until the lettuce is nicely coated, divide among serving plates. Top the lettuce with hot shrimp mixture, drizzle with additional dressing, garnish with cilantro and serve.
