Description

Ingredients

• 1 avocado, peeled and cubed (discard the pit)
• 2/3 cup canned coconut milk, well-shaken
• juice from 1/2 fresh lime (the other half will be used for the shrimp)
• juice from 1/2 fresh lemon (optional, but adds brightness)
• 1 scallion, roughly chopped
• 1 heaping tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro leaves and stems
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic (about 1 medium to large clove)
• 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno or serrano pepper (seeds removed)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon, olive oil
• 1 pound medium-large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, rinsed, and patted dry
• 1 teaspoon southwest seasoning blend or chipotle chili powder (I used Mrs. Dashs Southwest Chipotle Blend)
• 1/2 teaspoon pimenton (smoked paprika)
• juice from 1/2 fresh lime
• big pinch of kosher salt
• 3 packages ramen noodles, 9 ounces total (discard the flavor packets)
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon chopped dill leaves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 small or mini cucumber, sliced
• cooked bacon bits (pork or vegetarian) for garnish (optional)

Directions

• Add all sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor and puree. The sauce will be thick - thin with additional lime or lemon juice or water until it just reaches a pourable consistency. Taste, and season with additional salt, if necessary. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, plus the remainder of the marinade ingredients. Add the shrimp and saute on one side for several minutes. Flip each shrimp, and continue cooking until opaque, pink, and plump. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Prepare the ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain, and let cool for several minutes. Transfer to a large mixing or serving bowl. Pour in about 3/4ths of the guacamole sauce and a big pinch each of cilantro and dill. Use tongs to gently toss the herbs and noodles with the sauce. Gentle fold in the tomatoes and cucumbers. Top with the shrimp, more herbs, a big drizzle of guacamole sauce, and the bacon bits (if using).
