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.
