Combine all ingredients for the creamy chipotle sauce in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
½ cup avocado mayo, 2 tablespoon cilantro, 1 /2 tablespoon honey , ½ can chipotle chile in adobo sauce, ½ lime juiced
If you bought frozen shrimp or raw shrimp, defrost on the skillet until just heated and cooked through. Shrimp should be firm and brightly colored pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
1 lb shrimp
Add veggies to a large skillet (with a lid) in medium-high heat, toss with oil and cover with the lid. Let cook for 10 minutes. Toss veggies and continue to cook until desired softness is reached. Fork tender is good!
½ tablespoon avocado oil , 2 green bell peppers, sliced, deseeded and deveined, 2 red bell peppers, sliced, deseeded and deveined, ¼ white onion sliced
Add back in shrimp and toss quickly to combine. Then add ¾ cup of your sauce and ½ cup half and half. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until everything is well coated and slightly thickened. Stir to combine.
½ cup half and half
Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
