Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Use fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water for 30 minutes.
- Make sure the marinade is flavorful. The marinade is what gives the shrimp their flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer the shrimp marinate, the more flavorful they will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the shrimp for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer they marinate, the better.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Marinated shrimp and avocado is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the avocado adds a creamy and rich texture. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
