• 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!

CHILE-RUBBED SHRIMP WITH AVOCADO CORN COCKTAIL

• 1. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water, then blot them dry with paper towels.
• 2. Place the chile powder, garlic salt, coriander, oregano, cumin, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Stir in the olive oil. Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• 3. Cook the shrimp, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until just cooked through. When done the shrimp will turn pinkish white and will feel firm to the touch.
• 4. Spoon the Avocado and Corn Salsa into 4 large martini glasses or serving bowls. Drape 4 of the hot shrimp over the edge of each glass or bowl and serve at once. Or for a cold shrimp cocktail, let the cooked shrimp cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the shrimp, covered, until they are chilled before serving them with the salsa. The cooked shrimp can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• CONTACT GRILL:
• Preheat the grill; if your contact grill has a temperature control, preheat the grill to high. Place the drip pan under the front of the grill. When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill surface. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grill, then close the lid. The shrimp will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes.
• GRILL PAN:
• Place the grill pan on the stove and preheat it to high over medium heat. When the grill pan is hot a drop of water will skitter in the pan. When ready to cook, lightly oil the ridges of the grill pan. Place the marinated shrimp in the hot grill pan. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.
• BUILT-IN GRILL:
• Preheat the grill to high, then, if it does not have a nonstick surface, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grate. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.
• FREESTANDING GRILL:
• Preheat the grill to high; there's no need to oil the grate. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grill. They will be done after cooking 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• FIREPLACE GRILL:
• Rake red hot embers under the gridiron and preheat it for 3 to 5 minutes; you want a hot, 2 to 3 Mississippi fire. When ready to cook, brush and oil the gridiron. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grate. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.

CHILI LIME SHRIMP TACOS WITH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a ziplock bag with chili powder, lime juice, and olive oil. Make sure the shrimp is fully coated in mixture and let it marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• While shrimp is marinating, make salsa. In a medium bowl, combine mango, strawberry, avocado, onion, and black beans. Toss to combine.
• Heat grill pan (or skillet) to medium heat and grill shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink. You may need to do this in two batches, moving the first batch of shrimp to a foil-covered bowl to keep warm while the rest of the shrimp cook.
• Warm tortillas in oven or microwave. Top each with a little bit of fruit salsa, about 5 shrimp, and some feta cheese. Top with Greek yogurt and additional lime juice if desired.

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.

GRILLED SHRIMP TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the Salsa: Put the shallot, jalapeño pepper, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until finely chopped (a mini food processor is best, but large will work too) Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the chopped tomatoes, avocado, salt, lime juice, and cilantro to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside. (If not using right away, see the make-ahead instructions below.)
• Make the Shrimp: Heat the grill to medium. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and shrimp. Mix until the shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning. Grease the grill with a wad of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil or non-flammable cooking spray. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook, covered, until just opaque, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Place the shrimp on a serving platter and cover to keep warm. (I use large shrimp for this recipe so that they don't fall through the grates. If you're worried your shrimp will slip through, you can always thread them on skewers or cook them indoors in a skillet on medium heat.)
• Grill the tortillas until warm and slightly charred, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, heat the tortillas in the microwave according to the package instructions.)
• Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the avocado salsa, 3 shrimp, and some red cabbage; pass the lime wedges and sour cream at the table. Alternatively, set the warm tortillas, grilled shrimp, avocado salsa, and fixings on the table for everyone to assemble their own tacos.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The avocado salsa can be made up to 8 hours ahead of time; place a piece of saran wrap inside the bowl and directly over the mixture to prevent discoloration and refrigerate. The shrimp can be tossed with the oil and seasoning, covered, and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead of time.
