  3. Off the heat stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
  4. Season with more salt if necessary.

Mango Salsa:

Avocado Crema

  1. In a blender combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
  2. Scoop the crema out into a bowl or put it in a squeeze bottle, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp:

  1. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and the cumin.
  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
  3. When the skillet is hot add in the shrimp.
  4. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes then flip them over and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
