So the other day I decided to make a light appetizer using some shrimp I had, but wasn’t enough for a meal.  This is a recipe that I made up as a conglomerate of some other recipes I saw while flipping through a magazine and thought I would try and combine aspects of each that I thought would be interesting. It turned out pretty good and refreshing, which is not something I would normally say about a shrimp dish, but it really was. It is also super easy and takes very little work to put together and only 1 pan, which is always a plus.  Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Recipe:

• 8 oz shrimp
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt
• Pepper
• Pinch of red chili flakes
• Juice of 1 lime/lemon
• 1 Mango, cubed
• 1 Avocado, cubed
• toothpicks

Instructions

• Wash and pat dry the shrimp
• In a bowl, mix the shrimp with chili powder, salt, pepper, a pinch of red chili flakes, and garlic
• In a pan over medium heat, cook the shrimp until they turn orange/pink, and add the lime juice as you cook
• Remove them from the pan and using a toothpick, stick a shrimp on top of 1 mango cube and 1 avocado cube
