Notes~ * cook ahead if U like ñ cover well. Chill shrimp well before ñ place them in the guacamole so they look really appetizing . Use the jumbo shrimp – this makes a great lunch served with either white wine or a margarita.
Setting shrimp in baking soda before cooking not more than an hour makes them really pump.

I was contacted by a reader n asked about the amount of shrimp.
I should’ve stated that I use 2 Jumbo shrimps PER PERSON when serving. U can use x-large if U choose too.
After cooking them I stand them in the guacamole with tails.
