Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine shrimp marinate - chili powder, salt, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil.
- Pat dry defrosted shrimp and transfer to a zip lock bag or medium bowl. Add marinade to shrimp and coat evenly. Let shrimp sit in the marinade for ~30 minutes. If you are short on time, skip the marinating step.
- Heat skillet with vegetable oil (see Note 1). Once skillet is heated, add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side. Flip to the other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked (cooked shrimp typically curls up and is no longer translucent). Remove from heat promptly.
- I typically make this while the shrimp is marinating to save time.
- Bring all avocado crema ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend everything up. Add more salt if needed, and 1 tbsp of water at a time to thin it out if needed.
- Transfer to a small bowl.
- Drizzle Avocado Crema onto shrimp or serve it on the side!

CHILI LIME SHRIMP WITH AVOCADO SALSA
Steps:
- Brush tortillas or wraps with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Use a 1 ½ inch metal round to cut into circles. Bake on cookie sheet at 375 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes. If you want to make cups .use a biscuit cutter (about 2 ½ inches) and cut into rounds. Press into mini muffin cups and bake 6 to 8 minutes (the flat rounds are a cleaner look). Blend all marinade ingredients in small food processor. In a medium bowl, pour marinade over shrimp, cover, and let marinate while you make the salsa about 10 to 30 minutes. In a medium size bowl, mix together the garlic, jalapeno, shallot, cilantro. Fold in avocado and lime juice. Season with salt. If not using immediately, cover with plastic wrap so the plastic is pressed right onto the surface so there is as little air on it as possible. This will prevent it from turning brown. Grill the shrimp 1 to 2 minutes per side. They will curl up, making a pretty topper. Remove from heat. Serving Top one tortilla round with a dollop of the avocado and a piece of shrimp. Garnish with lime zest and chopped cilantro.
