PREPARATION

It doesn’t really matter where you come from, a shrimp and avocado salad is always going to be a popular hit! To prepare a Cuban shrimp and avocado salad, you need to peel and e-vein the shrimp. Then, rapidly bring to boil a quart of salted water. Throw in the shrimp and take the shrimp out one the water starts to boil rapidly again. Place the shrimp under running cold tap water to stop them from cooking. Turn your attention to the avocado by cutting them in half and tossing out the seed. Dress the avocado in olive oil, salt and pepper and vinegar. Mix together some mayonnaise, ketchup and Worcester sauce and pour this sauce mixture over the shrimps. After this, all you need to do is fill-in the avocados with the shrimps and cover the avocados in a plastic wrap before putting them in the fridge to chill. Garnish with olives and sweet pimentos if you want and serve over a bed of cold lettuce.
