Cilantro Lime Shrimp with Avocado Puree from The Paleo Cupboard Cookbook

These cilantro lime shrimp are so tasty that they flew off the plate the first time I served them. The avocado puree makes a nice dip when these shrimp are served as an appetizer, or you can make them without the dip for a main course.

Ingredients

Scale

For the avocado puree

Instructions

  1. Make the avocado puree: Place the avocados, coconut cream, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor and puree for 20 seconds, or until smooth. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. Combine the cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat, then cover and allow the shrimp to marinate for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. While the shrimp marinates, soak 6 bamboo skewers in water and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and drizzle with the lime juice. Grill for 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is cooked through.
  4. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the avocado puree on the side for dipping.
