For ➍4 tbs butter
1 tbs Cajun seasoning*
500 g medium (or extra-large) shrimp, peeled & deveined
3 avocados
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup thinly sliced scallions
¼ cup chopped yellow onion
zest of 1 lemon
1 tbs (or more to your liking) fresh lemon juice
coarse salt & freshly ground pepper
Melt half the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high. Add ½ tbs of the Cajun seasoning to the butter. Stir it all in. Let it bloom and fall in love. Add half the shrimp and sear on one side for 2 m. Flip and sear another m or so. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining butter and Cajun seasoning. Bloom for a second, then add the remaining shrimp. Set shrimp aside.
Half each avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a big bowl. Add the red bell peppers, scallion, onions, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash it all together with your fork, until it’s smooth, but still good and chunky.
Taste it. Add salt and pepper and more lemon juice to your liking.
