Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling in the kitchen.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor. If you can, buy organic and/or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use Ripe Avocado: Make sure the avocado you use for the dressing is ripe. This will give the dressing a creamy and rich flavor.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in the recipes to your own taste. Add more salt, pepper, chili powder, or cumin if you like.
