Why is this recipe great? What’s its backstory?
This recipe started its life in Argentina when I tried to find something to perk up the very large avocados from the tree in my back yard. My 2 Argentine babies received avocado as their first vegetable. Ideal baby food – without the sauce. This shrimp cocktail with sauce has now become a demand item on my family Christmas Menu since we began the custom of everyone contributing a course for the dinner. No matter what the rest of the dinner consists of, Shrimp Cocktails à la Claire must always be the appetizer.
This probably does not deserve a prize for originality, but this should win a prize for the easiest recipe. Typical of my cooking talents.
