You should have seen my husband's face at the site of this dainty little dish. Let me interject that he likes to learn his lessons the hard way. For example, just because HIS mama never made it doesn't mean he can't eat it. I'll suffice to say wifey-poo knows best--he loooooved it! BTW, I sort of Cajunized the shrimp. Made for 123 Hit Wonders.

Oh My Heavens, I'm going to buy a case of avocado's and move to Spain! I loved the sound of this delight and had to try it but I couldn't bring myself to use all that fat. I lightly poached the shrimp in salt water until just cooked and for the whipping cream I used fat free liquid coffee creamer, I don't feel bad about the avocado because it's "good" heart healthy fat (I know, fat is still fat and we shouldn't overdo). The avocado mash is pure heaven and I could smear it on every thing (I'm currently considering the possibility of cake filling!). If you like avocado and shrimp run to the food processor and make this NOW!!!
