  • ½ avocados
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup light sour cream
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray oil on a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl mix together melted butter, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Add shrimp and gently toss till the shrimp is well coated.
  • Place shrimp on the baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until they start to make a U shape. If they start to make an O shape, they are overcooked.
