Recipe Tips

How to Keep Avocado Slices from BrowningBefore placing the avocado slices on the crackers, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them to help prevent them from turning brown.
Special ExtraFor more flavor, marinate the shrimp before grilling. To prepare the marinade, mix 1/3 cup avocado or olive oil with 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. EACH minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper until blended. Pour over shrimp in shallow dish; toss to evenly coat shrimp with marinade. Refrigerate 20 min. Drain and discard marinade before grilling shrimp as directed.
