Skewered Garlic Butter Shrimp

== Description ==
This deluxe skewer meal is made with authentic shrimp and herbs, enriched with lemon juice, and topped with guacamole for a monumental dish. Italian parsley rarely replaces the regular parsley and works for this, too.
== Ingredients ==
=== For the seafood base ===
* 5 pounds large or jumbo size shrimp, peeled and deveined
* ¾ cup butter or margarine
* ¾ cup olive or avocado oil
* 6 garlic cloves, minced
* 5 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
* 4 tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
=== Guacamole ===
* 6 ripe medium California avocados, seeded and peeled
* 3 tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
* 1 medium tomato, diced
* ¼ cup onion, chopped, red, white, or yellow only
* 1 tbsp. seasoned salt
* 2 tbsp. garlic powder
== Directions ==
=== For the seafood base ===
# Thread 4 shrimp close together on each thin wooden skewer. Melt butter in a pan.
# Add oil, garlic and parsley; heat just until bubbling, then remove sauce from heat. Place skewered shrimp on a rack in a pan; brush generously with garlic sauce.
# Broil shrimp 4 inches from heat until they turn bright pink, about 4 minutes. Baste more than once with garlic sauce.
# Turn and broil on the other side about 3 minutes or until shrimp feel firm when pinched; baste once. (Or place skewers on a greased grill about 6 inches from hot coals. Cook and baste as directed for broiled shrimp.)
# Place each skewer on a new, serving plate and lightly sprinkle with lemon juice. Serve with guacamole.
=== Guacamole preparation ===
# Coarsely mash avocado, leaving some chunks.
# Add remaining Ingredients and mix to blend.
