This was a great quick recipe, I keep cooked frozen shrimp in the freezer and someone had given me a tip that a quick boil firms up the shrimp. That worked really well, removed the tails, dried them well before combining with sauce. Wasn't sure what to use for a side dish so added micro-greens and tomato wedges.

I used a salmon patty (frozen) instead of shrimp, cooked and broken up into shrimp-sized pieces. Served on baby organic spinach leaves. This was such a delicious recipe. I'll surely make it again and again!

I liked the sauce for the shrimp, but I didn't care for the shrimp with the avocado.
