This recipe I took from O&CO, however I just tweaked it for ingredient availability.Preparation time is around 30 minutes, and cooking time of 3 minutes.
Ingredients:
24 pieces uncooked shrimps
2 pieces limes (I used Philippine lemons instead of buying - so about 5 pieces for starters)
5 tbsp olive oil (but if you can buy the specialty olive oil which is lemon-flavored, much better)
2 pieces ripe avocados2 tsp spice mix (I just use whatever I have on hand, like hamburger seasoning etc.)
1 tsp O&CO fleur de sel
mini toasts
Directions:
Peel and de-vein the shrimps and marinate for at least 10 minutes in a salad bowl at room temperature - with lime or lemon juice, green lemon oil and mango condiment.
Drain the shrimps and fry them for about 2 minutes in a non-adhesive fry pan at low heat. This is to sear the flesh, then place them again in the marinade.

A couple of minutes before serving, peel and cut the avocados in large shavings.
Add them to the salad bowl with the shrimps etc. and toss gently.
Arrange in single plates, cover with the marinade, sprinkle with some spice mix and fleur de sel.
Enjoy with warm mini-toasts.
