Garlic Shrimp With Avocado Dip

none

2 medium ripe avocados; pitted, peeled
3 tablespoons jalapeño hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large garlic clove; pressed
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Cut up avocados and place them directly into a food processor. Purée
with
hot sauce and salt until smooth. Heat grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, rub shrimp with oil, garlic and cayenne. Thread 3 shrimp onto
each of 8 skewers, leaving small spaces between shrimp. (If using wooden
skewers, soak in water for 1 hour before using so they won't burn.)

Grill shrimp covered, about 2 1/2 minutes per side, until golden and just
cooked through. Serve with avocado dip.
