Healthy avocado toast with shrimp in “pink sauce” - Chef Sabrina Mancin

Healthy avocado toast with shrimp in “pink sauce”

This recipe is the much healthier version of an old classic where shrimp in pink sauce (mayo+ketchup) was served over half an avocado. It is delicious but quite caloric so I have swapped the mayo for Greek yogurt and the ketchup for beets. It makes a beautiful and delicious sauce that it is also good for you!

INGREDIENTS

PINK SAUCE*:

• 55g = 2oz roasted beets
• 200g = 7oz Greek yogurt 2% fat
• 1 ½ tsp lime (or lemon) juice
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

TOAST:

Yield: 4 toasts
• 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 Hass avocado
• Your favorite whole grain bread, thinly sliced and toasted
• Pomegranate seeds
• Evoo
• Salt and pepper to drizzle on top

SAUCE:

  • Add the beets to a blender or a food processor with the salt and pepper and process them until fine. Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom every now and then.
  • Add the lime juice and the yogurt. Pulse until it all comes together.
  • This recipe makes quite a bit of sauce but you will only need about 90g or 3 oz for the 12 shrimp. The rest you can put in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. You can use it as a salad dressing by adding a splash of vinegar. You could also use on a potato salad.

TOAST:

  • Cook the shrimp in a hot pan just for 2 minutes on each side. Do NOT overcook! They should actually look a bit undercooked inside.
  • Butterfly the shrimp by cutting through the thicker part and stopping right before the tail.
  • Place the shrimp in the sauce and leave in the refrigerator for at least one hour. The acidity in the sauce will continue and finish cooking the shrimp without making them tough.
  • Cut and slice the Hass avocado and place the sliced on the toasts.
  • Drizzle some evoo on all of them and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place three shrimp on each toast as you see on the photo.
  • Finish the dish with pomegranate seeds for an added crunch and maybe a little splash of some more sauce.

The pomegranate seeds, evoo, avocado and beets are fantastic and super healthy ingredients packed with good fats, antioxidants and vitamins. Enjoy this delicious dish knowing that it is also very good for you!
