Ingredients
  

  • SHRIMP
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • PICO DE GALLO
  • ¼ small onion diced
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1 avocado
  • cup torn cilantro leaves
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a grill to high heat. Toss the shrimp with the chili powder, paprika, salt, and olive oil.
  •  Start the pico: toss together all of the ingredients EXCEPT for the avocado with a few good pinches of salt. Taste and season additionally. Set aside while you grill the shrimp.
  • When the grill is hot, sear the shrimp on both sides for a few minutes until just barely cooked through. Cook time will depend on the size of your shrimp, but assume about 3 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp.
  •  When the shrimp is cooked, quickly dice the avocado and stir it into the pico with another pinch of salt.
  • Serve the shrimp over the pico for a light meal, or with chips and toothpicks as an appetizer spread. Enjoy!
