My cute mom knows I love shrimps in any way prepared so she bought me the other day a pack of frozen cocktail shrimps. We decided that today will be the day when we cook it and yesterday I could buy ripe avocados in the store for a ridiculous price (which is funny because usually you can buy unripe ones for three times this money) so today's lunch choice was kind of obvious. It's healthy and really delicious!
Ingredients for the shrimp:
- 500 grs of frozen cocktail shrimps
- one tablespoon of butter
- a big clove of garlic
- lemon juice
- 4 ripe avocados
- half an onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tomato
- lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- one tablespoon of olive oil
Take the shrimps out of the freezer the day before or if you forgot that, you can wash the frozen shrimps in lukewarm water right before cooking it. Melt the butter in a saucer pan and add the grated or mashed garlic. Then turn the heat up and add the shrimps. You have to cook it until it lets the water out and then only until the water boils away. Turn off the heat and let it cool down, adding a bit of lemon juice and salt in the end.
With a spoon take the inside of the avocados out and mash them with a fork. Chop the onion, the garlic and the tomatoes fine and add them to the avocado mash. Add some lemon juice, salt and freshly ground pepper, and the olive oil. Give it a good stir and add more lemon juice and salt if needed. You can stir the shrimps in with the guacamole too if you want to. Toast some wholegrain toast bread, spread some ofr the guacamole on the toast and sprinkle the shrimp on top.
