  3. Add the pasta and salt to the pot; cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.

  7. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  8. Remove skillet from heat and add the diced tomatoes and tequila.
  9. Return skillet to heat and continue to sauté for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. (Be careful as pan might flame.)
  10. Stir in half the diced avocado and half the basil.
  11. Transfer shrimp mixture to a platter using a slotted spoon, leaving liquid in the skillet.
  12. Add the reserved tomato puree to the skillet, bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer until the mixture is reduced by about one-third.
  13. Add the butter, stirring until it is melted.
  14. Then, add the remaining diced avocado and basil.
  15. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  16. Toss finished sauce with cooked pasta until thoroughly combined.
  17. Top with shrimp mixture and serve immediately.
  18. *Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
