Camarones y Aguacate - 92


Excuse the picture. We made this quickly the other evening and then photographed it very quickly, too, as we were hungry and ready to eat!

This is an excellent recipe that was given to me by a friend in Houston. I'm not sure where she got it from, but Javier and I make it several times a year since we love the two main ingredients - shrimp (camarones) and avocado (aguacate)

First you cook the shrimp and then you marinate it for an hour. The salad is started by chopping avocado, chives, cilantro, and a chile serrano if you like. The marinade is drained off the shrimp before adding it to the salad ingredients, and before adding the dressing, you squeeze a lime over everything. he whole mixture is tossed in a dressing of mayonnaise, hot sauce and a few drops of Tabasco. To keep the calories down, we used very little mayonnaise and some plain nonfat yogurt.
