Shrimp, Avocado, Cilantro Dip
Ingredients
- 1 sm. red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 C. cilantro, chopped
- 16 oz. fresh bay shrimp (use less if desired)
- 8 oz. tomato-basil feta crumbles
- 1 avocado, cubed
- Dressing:
- 1/2 C. olive oil
- 2 fresh limes, juiced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
Directions
Dressing:
In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine the olive oil, 1/4 cup of the lime juice, salt and pepper. Whisk to emulsify and set aside.
In a small colander, place separated shrimp, and drizzle with lime juice. Toss and set aside.
Add the finely diced red onion, the chopped cilantro, the feta crumbles and the cubed avocado to a medium mixing bowl. Give the colander a gentle shake and add the bay shrimp to the bowl. Gently toss the ingredients until just mixed. Drizzle the dressing and gently toss again so as not to break up the shrimp meat. Serve with toasted Baguette slices.
Tip: An easy way to cube an avocado
After removing the pit, use the tip of a sharp paring knife to carefully make narrow lengthwise slices. Turn the halved avocado 90 degrees in your hand and make narrow slices creating cubes. Turn the avocado inside out over your mixing bowl and the cubes will pop off the skin.
