SPICE-RUBBED SHRIMP TACOS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE
Steps:
- For the shrimp: Whisk the cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne together in a small bowl.
- Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the avocado sauce: Combine the avocados, scallions, garlic, lime zest and juice, jalapeno, cilantro, water, vinegar, cumin and salt in a blender. Blend on high for 2 minutes or until a smooth, creamy sauce forms, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed.
- Char the tortillas by holding them with tongs over an open flame until they're warmed and browned in spots. Transfer them to a plate as they're done; cover the tortillas with foil and keep warm.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with oil to prevent sticking. Working in batches, cook the shrimp 1 to 2 minutes per side or until firm and cooked through.
- To serve, place 2 tortillas on a plate and top with some shredded cabbage followed by about 5 shrimp per taco, a drizzle of the avocado sauce, diced tomatoes and hot sauce if using. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, shrimp and fillings. Serve with lime wedges.
CREAMY AVOCADO PIE
This is a very rich, creamy pie my mom used to make over 40 years ago for her St. Patrick's Day parties. I make a low-fat version of this for my family by replacing the ingredients with non-fat or low-fat creams.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine mashed avocadoes, lemon juice, salt and pepper until well blended. Evenly spread in a 9-10 inch ceramic quiche pan or glass deep-dish pie plate. Evenly sprinkle the green onions over the avocadoes and press down gently. Layer the shrimp evenly atop the green onions and press down gently. Spread the eggs evenly over the shrimp and press down gently. Add the sour cream and lemon zest to the cream cheese and whisk until well blended/smooth. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the egg layer and seal to the pan edges. With the back of a spoon, make swirls in the cream cheese mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3-4 hours. Just before serving (to prevent unsightly bleeding), evenly sprinkle minced parsley and caviar on top of the pie and arrange the twisted lemon slices. Place a fancy spoon in the pie and serve with your preference of crackers and/or breads.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choosing the Right Shrimp: For the best results, use fresh or frozen shrimp that has been peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Cooking the Shrimp: Cook the shrimp until it is just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
- Preparing the Avocado Mixture: Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. Mash them until they are smooth and creamy.
- Assembling the Pie: Layer the ingredients in the pie crust in the order specified in the recipe. This will ensure that the pie is evenly cooked and has a balanced flavor.
- Chilling the Pie: After assembling the pie, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.
