The combination of shrimp, avocado and basil is delicious, so I combined these ingredients in a pasta dish.

Use well ripened avocado. The photo shows the avocado pieces keep their own shape, but you can mush them more to make them into a kind of paste, if you'd like
Double the amount if you're making 2 servings. Recipe by Natsumi
