Garlic Shrimp with Avocado

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large avocado

• 3 stalks green onions
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic

   Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the shrimp in a single layer. Cook without stirring until pink on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until just opaque, 1-2 more minutes.

   Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the zucchini to the skillet and toss to combine.

   Remove from heat. Dice the 1 avocado and slice the 3 green onions. Squeeze the juice of the 1 lemon over the skillet.

6. 6

   Top with the avocado and green onions, and serve immediately. Add black pepper or red pepper flakes if you like.
