Creamy, spicy avocado dip is a perfect partner for garlicky grilled shrimp. This delicious appetizer can be served piping hot from the grill or at room temperature.
2 medium ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
3 tablespoons jalapeno hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large garlic clove, pushed through a press
Pinch cayenne pepper
Cut up avocados and place them directly into a food processor. Purée with hot sauce and salt until smooth. Heat grill to medium-high heat.
In a bowl, rub shrimp with oil, garlic and cayenne. Thread 3 shrimp onto each of 8 skewers, leaving small spaces between shrimp. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 1 hour before using so they won’t burn.)
Grill shrimp covered, about 2-1/2 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through. Serve with avocado dip.
