BOILED SHRIMP WITH CREAMY BUTTERMILK AVOCADO SAUCE
I found this recipe in a magazine many summers ago and I changed it up to suit my family's taste. The shrimp are served chilled and are so nice on a hot day when you want something cool and easy. The Creamy Buttermilk-Avocado Sauce is so good and it accents the shrimp beautifully! Blessings, Enjoy !

Tips:
- For the freshest shrimp, choose ones that are firm and have a translucent, slightly bluish-gray color.
- To easily remove the shrimp shells, make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and gently pull off the shell.
- For a more flavorful sauce, use homemade buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the sauce ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
