Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds medium shrimp (about 76), peeled and deveined
3/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup capers, not drained
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
7 bay leaves (not California)
2 firm-ripe California avocados
Accompaniment: soft green-leaf lettuce such as Boston

Steps:

  • Cook shrimp in a 5-quart pot of boiling salted water* until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain in a colander.
  • Whisk together vinegar, oil, capers, salt, pepper, celery seeds, and Tabasco in a large bowl, then add warm shrimp, onion, celery, and bay leaves and toss to combine. Marinate, covered and chilled, 24 hours to 2 days.
  • Just before serving, discard bay leaves. Quarter, pit, and peel avocados and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Gently stir into shrimp salad, then spoon over lettuce.
  • When salting water for cooking, use 1 tablespoon salt for every 4 quarts water.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe avocados. This will ensure that your shrimp avocado melt is creamy and flavorful.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread will hold up to the melted cheese and other ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. There are many different types of cheese that can be used in a shrimp avocado melt, so feel free to try different ones until you find one that you like.
  • Serve the shrimp avocado melt immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

The shrimp avocado melt is a quick and easy sandwich that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its creamy avocado, melted cheese, and juicy shrimp, the shrimp avocado melt is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
