Skewered Garlic Butter Shrimp with Guacamole

Serves: 12

5 lbs large or jumbo size shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup olive or avocado oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
5 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Guacamole (recipe follows)

Delicious and Quick Guacamole

6 ripe medium California Avocados, seeded and peeled
3 Tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
1 medium tomato, diced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 Tbsp seasoned salt
2 Tbsp garlic powder

Thread 4 shrimp close together on each thin wooden skewer. Melt butter in
pan. Add oil, garlic and parsley; heat just until bubbling, then remove
sauce from heat. Place skewered shrimp on a rack in a pan; brush
generously with garlic sauce. Broil shrimp 4 inches from heat until they
turn bright pink (about 4 minutes). Baste at least once with garlic sauce.
Turn and broil on other side about 3 minutes or until shrimp feel firm
when pinched; baste once. (Or place skewers on a greased grill about 6
inches from hot coals. Cook and baste as directed for broiled shrimp.)
Place each skewer on serving plate and lightly sprinkle with lemon juice.
Serve with Guacamole.


Guacamole Preparation:
Coarsely mash avocado, leaving some chunks.
Add remaining Ingredients and mix to blend.
