In honor of Cinco de Mayo, here is a super kicked-up guacamole with mango and shrimp. Classic guacamole is great, but there are so many variations you can do on it and this is my favorite. I was first served this guacamole by an ex-boyfriend of my daughter’s and was WOWed by it! I could have had just that for dinner, it was so good! We won’t mention him by name since he’s an ex, but I believe I have recreated that wonderful guacamole he served.
Using cooked salad shrimp makes the preparation easy. Just a bit of chopping and mashing and you’re there. Having a Cinco de Mayo party? Serve this guacamole with mango and shrimp and you’ll have some very happy guests and lots of accolades!
