Avocado was this week's ingredient, chosen by AnnieNC of Churches in Venice.
I found this recipe which sounded kind of unusual. In the magazine where it appeared, it was served with Coconut Shrimp, so I did the same to keep the tasting components the same. However, I wasn't brave enough to make my own shrimp - these were frozen ones that turned out to be very good. It was a great appetizer, and the guacamole could be used on lots of other dishes.
