Spaghetti with Avocado Cream and Shrimp

I can suggest a recipe to prepare spaghetti with avocado cream and shrimp, a dish that combines the freshness of the avocado with the refinement of shrimp, for a taste that smacks of the sea with an exotic touch.

Ingredients

  • 320g of spaghetti
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 300g of cleaned shrimp
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • The juice of one lime
  • Fresh parsley to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. In a large pan, lightly sauté the chopped garlic with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Lightly salt them and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, blend the avocado pulp with the lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a handful of fresh parsley until you get a smooth cream.
  3. Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water following the times indicated on the package to achieve an al dente texture.
  4. Drain the spaghetti and save a cup of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the shrimp and the avocado cream. If necessary, use some of the reserved cooking water to make the cream smoother.
  5. Stir well over moderate heat to combine the ingredients.
  6. Serve immediately, garnishing with more chopped parsley and a sprinkling of black pepper.

The avocado, originating from Central America, is now widespread and appreciated all over the world both for its taste and for its nutritional properties. Paired with shrimp, it becomes the star of a dish with a unique flavor and international appeal.
