Ingredients: 1 pound shrimp (16 - 20 count), peeled and deveined; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; 1/2 tablespoon ancho chile powder (we use a 6 chili blend for the extra character of the blended chills); 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 2 teaspoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon hot chili oil (your favorite, we use Pele's Fire Macadamia Oil); 1 avocado, cut into 1 inch cubes; 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Servings: persons

1 pound shrimp (16 - 20 count), peeled and deveined
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon ancho chile powder (we use a 6 chili blend for the extra character of the blended chills)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon hot chili oil (your favorite, we use Pele's Fire Macadamia Oil)
1 avocado, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1
In a bowl stir together garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, chili powder, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and 2 teaspoons oil. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
2
While the shrimp is marinating, preheat broiler. Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving 1 Tbsp, and arrange on a broiler rack.
3
Broil shrimp for 2 minutes roughly 4 inches from heat.
4
Turn shrimp and broil 1 - 2 minutes more, or until the shrimp is just cooked through. Remember, the residual heat of the shrimp will continue to cook the shrimp so don't overcook it. While the shrimp is cooking, add the cubed avocado to the bowl used for the marinade.
5
Remove shrimp and place in the bowl with avocado along with the juices from the broiler pan.
6
Add remaining 1 Tbsp lime juice, cilantro, hot chili oil, and reserved 1 Tbsp marinade.
7
Gently toss to coat.
8
Serve with white rice and a nice stir fry vegetable. Enjoy!
