I love using raw shrimp rather than cooked shrimp. It cooks up in just a couple of minutes and has a better flavor. I dropped a tablespoon of butter in a hot skillet and then added the shrimp. Cracked a little salt & pepper on top and we’re good to go!
Freshly sauteed shrimp – good enough to devour right then & there! But wait – I have a zingy aioli to make!!!
The ingredients are simple – probably things you already have in your fridge. I got some horseradish from home for Christmas and have been looking for an excuse to use it! Horseradish is one of those things that can be a little scary – but in small doses it adds SO much flavor! It’s a perfect complement to the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP.
Throw it all in bowl and mix it together. I used one of those hand-held stick mixers. I don’t have a big fancy food processor. It was nice and creamy but you could still see little pieces of avocado. I’m already hungry!
I encourage you to taste as you’re mixing up your aioli. I had it all together, took a taste and found it needed something else – so I threw in some taco sauce (not salsa) and a little more horseradish – perfection! Make it how YOU like it!
Zingy Avocado Aioli
1 avocado, slightly mashed
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 clove
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP Salad Dressing
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon Horseradish
1 Tablespoon Taco Sauce (not salsa)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl – blend on low speed with mixer (or blender/food processor). Serve chilled with shrimp or as a dressing for a sandwich!
