Let’s chat about one of my pantry staples for this recipe, avocado oil. Avocado oil is a must pantry staple in our house! Avocado is a nutritious superfood packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals while being low in saturated fats and containing no cholesterol. Organic avocado oil is a highly versatile oil when using both low and high heat, and an excellent substitute for less-healthy oils in many recipes and dishes. It’s great for baking, sautéing veggies, marinades, and of course for marinating shrimp with lime and cilantro!
Are you a fan of avocado oil? I often use it as a substitute to vegetable oil when cooking too!
