Instructions

  1. METHOD
  2. Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, hot sauce, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt. Whisk in oil; reserve.
  3. Stir 2 tablespoons salt, cayenne pepper and bay leaves into 1-1/2 gallons water. Bring to a boil; simmer 5 minutes. Add the shrimp. Cook shrimp until just pink and opaque, about 1 minute. Spread on a sheet pan to cool. Do not refresh in cold water; the peeled rock shrimp will absorb water quickly. Chill.
  4. JUST BEFORE SERVICE
  5. Toss shrimp with 1-3/4 cups reserved lemon dressing. Fold in bell pepper, onion and cilantro. Add more salt to taste, if necessary.
  6. PER ORDER
  7. Mound 3/4 cup shrimp salad on one side of the plate. Slice 1/2 avocado thinly. With a spatula, put it opposite shrimp, almost touching; press lightly to fan it out lengthwise toward the shrimp. Arrange 5 orange and 5 grapefruit segments on either side of the avocado and shrimp salad. Drizzle the plate with 1 tablespoon reserved dressing. Garnish plate with tortilla strips.

As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados.
