Orange-Avocado Shrimp

Orange-Avocado Shrimp

Another winner from Jim and Sherry.

What you need

-        1 pound frozen large peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed

-        Salt

-        1 lime (if small – I use 2)        

-        2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

-        1/8 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (I use more like a healthy ¼ tsp. of red pepper  flakes.)

-        2 oranges, peeled and chopped (I like the orange, so I use 2 large)

-        1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped (I use at least 2)

-        4 cups cooked rice

Directions

1.   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque throughout, about 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse under cold running water until cool. (I chop the shrimp into small chunks so that it goes farther.)

2.   Into a large bowl, zest the lime and squeeze the juice. Whisk in the oil, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Add the shrimp, oranges, and avocado and gently fold together. Spoon over rice.

3.       We like to serve with Costco’s Mango-Orange bottled salsa
