Stir together oil, lime zest, lime & lemon juice, and cilantro or parsley; stir gently into shrimp; season to taste with salt and pepper. May be covered and chilled, to this point, overnight. 4. To serve, top with avocado, lightly sprinkle with lime juice and chopped cilantro or parsley (add a few drops of hot sauce for extra spice); garnish with lime wedges & cilantro or parsley sprigs. SALSA VERDE: Remove papery husks from tomatillos, rinse, and quarter. Place in a blender or food processor with garlic, chiles, a pinch of salt, and 1⁄3 cup water. Pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in onions and cilantro. Season with salt.
