LadyCCV, by nature, NO, when a fruit is out of season, it is out of season. It might be “in-season” elsewhere or grown in greenhouses, but then you would have to buy them imported from those locations. Best to stick to dishes that harness the goodness of whatever produce is IN SEASON at that point in time…

Hi,MM. Is there a place I can buy avocados from even if it is no longer in season?

I make a shrimp, avocado, and mango salad. To those three main ingredients I add a little bit of red onion, season with salt, pepper, cumin, and a squeeze of lime juice. It’s delicious!

oh, if only you could try the real coctel de camaron served chilled (not so good warm), called ‘campechana’ made by someone from Michoacan, Mexico. Definitely not to most Filipinos liking, tomatoey and cilantroey. lol.
shrimp, avocado, tomato, hint of onion, little cilantro (or a lot), with Clamato tomato juice(it has to Clamato or something close to it), sometimes they add fresh ‘ostiones’ (oysters) and/or pulpo (octopus).
Heavenly!

D: I was going to say that I’ve had shrimp/avocado taco before, at ang sarap nya. Yun nga lang with picante sauce; although mayron akong nabili kelan lang ng Salsa mayo dressing.. kaya subukan ko itong dish na ito with the dressing and of course wrapped in mais tortilla.

Like ConnieC, I sometimes substitute avocado for mayo – I like it particularly in burgers!

Avocado and yogurt simply don’t mix. Tried them together for the extra calorie boost for hubby and it did not work.:( But I love avocado for its rich essential fatty acid content and use it sometimes to substitute for mayo in a sandwich.

I’d do this but with the much smaller shrimp: steamed and peeled. I skip the yogurt and smash the living daylights out of a few cubes of avocado, add salt/pepper, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon. As it is as an appetizer, on a bed of greens with crusty bread for a “nagpapanggap na diyeta” kind of meal. =P

Yoghurt is healthier than mayo but it does not blend well with avocado. Use less mayo and it looks like you mixed/stirred the avocado too much which made it on the creamy side. The avocado cubes should hold well with the shrimps. I agree with D….top it over tostada with tequila on the other hand! :)
