Avocado Shrimp Canoes. Avocados have been part of my family diet forever. My grandpa used to have his fish soup garnished with avocados (a craving that I inherited and had it during my first pregnancy), and my grandma used to garnish her black bean soup with avocado and cilantro.
In my Venezuelan childhood, our favorite salads were those involving avocados. These days, there is nothing that I love more than arepas filled with whatever… and avocados!
This is why I didn’t think twice when I learned there is a Vida Aguacate Club: I joined it immediately! Sponsored by Avocados From México, it’s a reliable source of information regarding recipes (avocados are more than guacamole) and nutritional information (among other things, avocados are a source of good fat with no cholesterol).
Another good thing is that avocados are always in season, and we can get Avocados From México all year. They are always fresh, always delicious, and always so versatile.Take a look at these avocado and shrimp canoes. I combined the flesh with a simple pico de gallo salad that I served on the avocado skins and topped with grilled shrimp.They are perfect as an appetizer or simply as a tapa. I like to have them when we barbecue… You can have one or two or more, and they look so cute! Here is my recipe, and please join Vida Aguacate Club for more.
