There has been a recipe going around Facebook that looks so good, and I decided yesterday that I just had to try it. I tweaked it a bit to my liking, so you can do the same! My opinion is that it looked better than it really was. I love shrimp and I love avocado, but for some reason this wasn't too great. Maybe because I left some of the ingredients out? Or maybe avocado and shrimp just don't fit well together? I did end up putting it in the fridge and ate it a few hours later, and the second time around it was better.

Here is my version of the recipe!

Ingredients

• 12 ounces cooked shrimp (a bag of frozen is usually 12 ounces so I used this amount)
• 1 avocado, diced (not too ripe or it will be too mushy)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (you could use less, but I found more worked best)
• 3 tablespoons fresh salsa (or 1 diced tomato)
• dash of salt and pepper
• cilantro to taste (I left this out--not a fan of cilantro)

Directions

• Mix onion, oil, lime juice, salt and pepper in a bowl and allow them to sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine shrimp, avocado, cilantro, and salsa in another bowl.
• Add onion mixture and mix well.
• It's ready to go, but remember that I found it was best after being refrigerated for a few hours.

This is a Phase 3 and beyond recipe, but you could easily adjust down to fit Phase 2 by leaving out the oil and avocado (and of course using Phase 2 measurements for ingredients).

Enjoy and let us know what you think!
