Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl stir together garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, chili powder, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and 2 teaspoons oil. Add shrimp and toss to coat.

Step 2

While the shrimp is marinating, preheat broiler. Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving 1 Tbsp, and arrange on a broiler rack.

Step 3

Broil shrimp for 2 minutes roughly 4 inches from heat.

Step 4

Turn shrimp and broil 1 – 2 minutes more, or until the shrimp is just cooked through. Remember, the residual heat of the shrimp will continue to cook the shrimp so don’t overcook it. While the shrimp is cooking, add the cubed avocado to the bowl used for the marinade.
