Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour the sauce over the shrimp, tossing to coat.

If you are making the creamy avocado topping, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor with the chopping attachment. Blend/process until it reaches a smooth consistency. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the avocado oil. Once hot, dump the shrimp and sauce in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.

Step 4

Serve shrimp immediately. If desired you can drizzle with any leftover sauce in the pan and the creamy avocado topping for serving. Serve over greens as a salad, over rice or cauliflower rice or in taco shells.
