Directions
1.
Cut up avocados and place them directly into a food processor. Puree with 3 tablespoons of hot sauce ( or just add chopped jalapeno) and salt until smooth. Heat grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, rub shrimp with oil, garlic and cayenne.
2.
Thread 3 shrimp onto each of 8 skewers, leaving small spaces between shrimp. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 1 hour before using so they wont burn.)
3.
Grill shrimp covered, about 2 1/2 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through. Serve with avocado dip.
