Crab Avocado Bake

For those pesco-vegetarians, here is a great recipe that can be used with crab or shrimp.

1 ripe avocado
jumbo lump crab meat
Swiss, cheddar or gruyere cheese, sliced or shredded
Italian seasoning

Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Stuff grilled shrimp or lump crab meat in the hole where the pit was. Cover with your choice of cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Place the avocado halves in the oven on broil. Watch closely and when cheese starts to brown/bubble, remove and enjoy!

Chipotle Shrimp with Mango Sauce

Recipe adapted from Lois Ellen Frank

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes, plus marinating time

Cook Time: 2 to 3 minutes

Total Time: 18 minutes, plus marinating time

Directions

1. Make the shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with ½ cup of the olive oil and garlic and toss. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight.

2. While the shrimp is marinating, make the mango sauce: In a blender, purée the mango, honey, lime juice and salt until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Makes 2 cups.

3. Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and discard the garlic. In a separate bowl, mix together the chipotle chile, salt and pepper. Combine the spice mixture with the shrimp and toss to coat.

4. In a very large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil until it's hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and cook in a single layer until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a platter with the mango sauce and garnish with chives before serving.
