Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound (about 20) medium-size shrimp
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 small ripe avocado
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup tequila
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or Chinese parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Shell and devein shrimp. Butterfly shrimp by splitting them partly down the back, starting at the head and stopping short of the tail. Flatten them lightly. Place shrimp in a bowl and add lime juice, salt and pepper. Let stand briefly until ready to cook.
  • Peel the avocado, and cut it into half-inch slices. Discard pit. Use as soon as possible or the flesh will discolor.
  • Heat butter in a skillet; when it is quite hot but not smoking add shrimp, stirring rapidly. Cook about two minutes. Sprinkle with shallots and cook, stirring, about 10 seconds. Carefully add the tequila, which may flare up. Add half-and-half and cook over high heat about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add avocado, and cook just until the slices are piping hot.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and avocado pieces to hot serving dishes. Bring the sauce to a full rolling boil for about 1 1/2 minutes and add the chopped cilantro. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and avocado. Serve with rice.
