Shared from our friends at GE Appliance.

 Servings: 8 - 10
Prep Time:  25 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
1/3 cup sour cream
¼ cup cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 avocado
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, minced
3 green onions, thinly sliced

METHOD:

Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the chopped shrimp and garlic with a large pinch of kosher salt. Cook over medium-high heat until the shrimp is fully cooked (about 2 minutes). Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream and the cream cheese with a whisk until fully combined. Add the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, lime zest and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Mix well.
Peel and pit the avocado and cut into a small dice. In a small bowl, toss the avocado with the remaining lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Gently fold the avocado, shrimp, cilantro, jalapeño, and green onions with the creamy dressing. Season to taste with salt or more lime juice.
Serve with tortilla chips or fresh veggies.

CHEF'S NOTES:

Removing the seeds and inner membrane of the jalapeño will help control the heat in this dip. Or for a spicier version, add in a few teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce. This dip can be made several hours ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator prior to serving.
Follow these steps to easily peel and pit your avocado:
• Cut the ripe avocado in half, lengthwise, around the pit.
• Rotate the halves to separate.
• Slide the tip of a spoon gently underneath the pit to remove it.
• Cut the avocado into quarters.
• Peel the skin away from the flesh of the avocado with a knife or your fingers, starting at the small end.

2/3/18 There is so much information out there about how to take care of and clean our dishwashers that it can be overwhelming.  If you keep up with the cleaning and maintenance you can extend the life of your dishwasher.  We studied the owner’s manuals for Kitchen Aid, GE and Bosch dishwashers and came up with the 4 most helpful cleaning tips.   Check your owner’s manual for specific instructions and frequency. Clean the filters Inside your dishwasher there is at least one filter that collects solid particles that may have been on your dishes.  If you don’t clean it regularly then your dishes may show visible signs of dirt and the dishes can feel gritty to the touch.  It is easy to remove and clean them.   You can just do a quick look at the filter about once a month if you tend to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher.  If you are in the habit of clearing the dishes of food before putting them in the dishwasher you may only need to ch...
