Hey Jude, beautiful! I love the presentation! Didn't use the chilli powder - figured it had enough spice for my group! However, I served it next to the shrimp at each plate. The flavor is awesome it matches the pictures!
The only thing I would change is I would add a bit more avocado & didn't use the tortilla chips (personal preference)didn't think it needed it with the wonderful sauce for dipping the shrimp! Thank you for a great recipe :) Diane
