Spicy Shrimp & Avocado

How was your weekend? Mine was very busy and today I'm exhausted. It's one of those everything hurts, I need to be back in bed type of days!

How delicious does this look? I'm drooling just looking at the picture.

The recipe and directions below is from here. Is this something that would interest you? I think I'm going to make this on Sunday.

The creamy avocado in these bite sized appetizers is a cool complement to the spicy prawns and the crunchy texture of the rice cracker. This delightful and gluten-free appetizer will whet your guests’ appetites during all spring and summer entertainment occasions. Ensure you make plenty of extras as they will quickly disappear!

1 tbsp	olive oil	15 mL
20	large prawns, shelled	20
1 tbsp	chilli garlic paste	15 mL
1/4 cup	chopped fresh cilantro	50 mL
2	avocados from Mexico, finely diced	2
1	green onion, sliced	1
1	lemon, juice and zest	1
20	sesame rice crackers	20
20	cilantro leaves	20

In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and shrimp. Cook shrimp for 2 to 4 minutes per side until they turn orange/red in colour and opaque. Add chili garlic paste and stir to coat, continuing to cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside for later use.
