MY OH MY! We are finally entering into barbecue season and I have to say I am ready! My flip flops are on, barbecue scrubbed, lawn chair ready and a cold drink in hand and it is time to dive into sunny weather and barbecuing! Let's just take a moment to celebrate......

 Grilled Shrimp with Avocado Butter Recipe

I adapted this recipe from the 200 Easy Mexican Recipes Cookbook. This cookbook is filled with so many amazing recipes that I can't wait to make.

When I first started learning to cook I was so scared to cook shrimp or really any seafood. I was afraid I wouldn't cook it the right way or know that they were finished. This Grilled Shrimp Recipe really pushed me to try cooking shrimp and I ended up loving it.

Cooking these on the barbecue is really easy. Just make sure you give the shrimp time to marinade with the limes, garlic, creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper. You want them to be flavorful! If you are not a fan of Cayenne pepper you can lower the amount or leave it out completely.
