Salt

Cut your avocado in half and scoop it unto a bowl.. Grab your onion and tomato and chop unto small pieces.. Micx into your already smashed avocado bowl mix together add salt to taste and squeeze a lemon or lime unto it..taste and you might add a bit more salt... (Lemon is used to avoid browning of the avocado and it gives it a nice twist)....good eats!

Thumbs up Grilled Shrimp - YUMMY

This recipe for grilled shrimp is so wonderful and easy. It's also very pretty on skewers. Add some pasta, salad, and some wine and it's a very romantic dinner!

The recipe is as follows:

2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, small diced
1/4 C minced fresh Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
1/4 C minced fresh basil
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 C good olive oil
1 lemon, juiced

Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hr or over night. (refrigerate)

Skewer the shrimp. Heat a grill and cook only a couple minutes till done. Don't over cook or shrimp will become chewy and tough.

Note ** I leave the tails on, it's a much prettier presentation this way.

If you'd like the pasta recipe, here it is. (Fettuccini Alfredo)

18 ounces FRESH (don't use dry pasta, it doesn't adhere to the sauce well) fettuccine

2 1/2 C heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (must be fresh, do not use lemon juice in a bottle)
12 TBSP unsalted butter
2 C grated parmesan
2 tsp. grated lemon zest
pinch nutmeg (grated or ground)
salt and freshly ground pepper

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until firm but done. Stir 2 Cups of the cream and lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 Cup of cream, and parmesan to sauce. Stir till smooth. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

This is sooooo good!!
