1x2x3x

Serves: 4

• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 8 ounces Jumbo shrimp peeled and de-veined
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice divided
• 2 large avocados
• 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
• 1 tablespoons fresh pineapple juice
• 1 small red onion diced
• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro stems removed and chopped

Instructions

 

• Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and add to the hot skillet. Add ground cumin and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cook shrimp for approximately 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat and add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Stir to combine and transfer to a small bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill.
• Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Remove seed and score the flesh in evenly spaced rows lengthwise and crosswise to create equal-sized chunks. Scoop avocado out of shell and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning. Reserve avocado shells and set aside.
• Add avocado, pineapple, pineapple juice, onion, and cilantro to a large non-reactive bowl and stir gently to combine.
• Remove chilled shrimp from the refrigerator and chop into equal-size chunks. Fold shrimp into avocado-pineapple mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spoon shrimp mixture into reserved avocado shells and serve immediately. Enjoy!
