Recipe of the Week – Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Seviche
(From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com)
Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Seviche
This is a wonderful appetizer, or it would make a great Sunday lunch. One of the downsides of constantly creating new dishes is that sometimes you are so excited to get them to the table that you forget to take a photo first. This recipe has been on the emealsforyou.com site for several years but somehow never photographed. I will correct this in the near future.
Now to the reason for making the seviche in the first place. We got a call Friday afternoon from our old next door neighbors from Naperville saying the were on their way back from Asheville, NC and would be traveling through Mason. As we just got back from Asheville ourselves it only made sense for them to come by for drinks, some food and to compare notes on Asheville. I grill the shrimp, most seviche is raw fish cooked by the acidity of the lime juice, as a lot of people are reluctant to eat raw fish. Grilling the shrimp adds flavor to the dish and calms down the raw fish problem.
