Ingredients
- For the avo smash:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, minced

- Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For the grilled shrimp:

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Other:
- 1 baguette or ciabatta, sliced diagonally

Instructions
- Mash the avocado in a bowl. Add the chopped shallot, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well until you have a chunky purée. Set aside.
- Toss the shrimp with garlic powder, smoked paprika, chicken stock powder and olive oil. Heat a grill pan (or regular skillet) and grill the shrimp for about 2–3 minutes per side, until just cooked and golden.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, use a toaster.
- Spread a layer of avo smash on each toasted slice. Top with one or two grilled shrimp. Drizzle with Remia’s Mango-Turmeric-Ginger sauce.
- Garnish with fresh coriander or cress if desired. Serve immediately while still warm and crisp.
- TIP:- This sauce also works wonderfully in a Poké Bowl, wrap, or mixed into a refreshing (pasta) salad.
