This was posted on the Internet for someone who asked for a recipe like one in the frozen food section called Margaritaville's Island Lime Shrimp which I think is fantastic but I can't find it. Had it in Florida or NY I think. I'm still searching...Update: I found it in the freezer at Target! I still want to make this though!

1 pound (about 20) medium-size shrimp
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 small ripe avocado
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots

  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and avocado pieces to hot serving dishes. Bring the sauce to a full rolling boil for about 1 1/2 minutes and add the chopped cilantro. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and avocado. Serve with rice.

  • For a non-alcoholic version of the Margarita, omit the tequila and add extra lime juice and sparkling water.
  • Garnish the Margaritas with lime wedges, salt, or a sprig of cilantro.
