1/8 teaspoon ground mustard |
dash freshly ground pepper |
12 ounces fresh or frozen medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1 small onion, thinly sliced, divided |
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided |
1 small pickled jalapeno pepper, rinsed, seeded, cut in strips |
2 medium ripe avocados, peeled, halved, seeded and rubbed with lemon juice |
