Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the chili peppers: Remove the stems and deseed the red hot chili peppers if you prefer a milder dip. Finely chop them.
- Combine ingredients: In a food processor, combine the chopped chili peppers, avocado, sour cream, lime zest, parsley, spearmint, and coriander leaves.
- Add spices and oil: Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, dried coriander, olive oil, and water to the food processor.
- Blend until smooth: Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set the dip aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
- Sauté the onion: In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Cook the shrimps: Add the peeled and deveined shrimps to the skillet. Season them with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Combine and serve: Once the shrimps are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish. Serve immediately with the prepared jalapeño avocado dip on the side.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, make sure the shrimps are of uniform size and not overcrowded in the pan.
- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers based on your heat tolerance for a more personalized level of spiciness.
- For added flavor, marinate the shrimps in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest, and ground cumin for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use ripe avocados to achieve a creamy, smooth texture in your dip.
- If you prefer a chunkier dip, mash the avocados roughly instead of blending them completely smooth.
- Serve the dip chilled for the best contrast to the hot, freshly cooked shrimps.
Enjoy your Shrimps with Jalapeno Avocado Dip! The combination of tender shrimps and the spicy, refreshing dip creates a delightful culinary experience that is sure to impress your guests.
