I am so loving my new life in Florida. There's a green market every Saturday a few blocks from my new apartment... and it's not just any green market with a couple of stands of fresh fruit and veggies. It's an entire city block with yes, fruit and veggies, but also, lemonade, pies, olive oils, seafood, orchids, and other homemade/homegrown crafts. It's phenomenal.
And I went hog wild.
I bought fresh fruit, avocados, an orchid, and seafood... and I've been eating like a friggin queen. Hence the inspiration for this incredibly yummy and super easy dish - Shrimp, peach salsa and avocado wrap. Given that summer is here, you are going to want to make this, every single day for lunch. SOOO fresh and bright, yet filling....
Here's how I made it!
First, I started by making a peach salsa... take 3-4 peaches, remove the seed, and dice. Seed (using gloves!) a jalapeno, and mince it. Dice a red onion. Chop some cilantro. Add a bit of lemon juice, mix...
Take a whole wheat tortilla, heap a generous dose of peach salsa...
...slice 1/4 of an avocado into nice even slices and lay on top...
... place freshly steamed shrimp on top...
...roll up...
...marvel at the beautiful colors...
...but not for too long. Eat into that deliciousness and bask in flavors and textures of the creamy avocado, the hearty shrimp and the bright, fresh, sweet flavors of the peach salsa. A winning combo, y'all.
And here's the full recipe!
