Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- If you don't have any fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice instead. Just be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
- If you want a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- For a smoother dip, blend the avocado and shrimp mixture in a food processor until it is completely smooth.
- Garnish the dip with chopped cilantro, chopped tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
