INGREDIENTS
4 Zespri™ SunGold™ kiwifruit, peeled
20 peeled, cooked, and chilled cocktail shrimp (jumbo or extra jumbo – about 1 lb. total)
½ cup Greek yogurt, full fat (about 3½ ounces)
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves (about ½ ounce) + a few extra sprigs for garnish
1 ripe avocado (about 5 to 5½ ounces in size), pitted and peeled
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1½ tbsp avocado oil
¼ tsp salt
1 lime, cut into wedges
METHOD
- As thinly as possible slice 3 of the zespri kiwifruit and use them to line four 6-ounce martini glasses by laying them against the inside of the glasses in one layer.
- Place the yogurt, basil, avocado, flesh from remaining zespri kiwifruit, lime juice, avocado oil, and salt into the work bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the four martini glasses. Hang 5 shrimp over the edge of each of the martini glasses (tail facing out) and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
