Delicious Spicy Shrimp with Citrus Avocado Sauce

Spicy shrimp recipe with citrus avocado dipping sauce

This spicy shrimp with citrus avocado sauce will catch everyone off guard because the flavours are so unexpected. People will assume that there is some sort of chili powder mixture on the shrimp and then they’ll drag the shrimp through the extra creamy avocado sauce, pop it in their mouth and be completely surprised and amazed.

It works great as an easy and impressive appetizer but makes a nice main dish too, along with a salad and rice.

      Hi Jeannine, I haven’t made the avocado sauce that far in advance. Not sure if you’d have trouble with it turning brown on top. If you covered it well (pressed the wrap right against the top of the sauce) it my be fine. Good luck.
