Shrimp Cocktail with Kiwi Daiquiri Guacamole

May 9, 2008

Of Aztec origin, it was originally valued for its high fat and vitamin content. Guacamole was originally made by mashing the avocado with a molcajete (a type of mortar and pestle) and adding tomatoes and salt. After the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, guacamole became popular in Spain. Since avocados failed to grow well in Spain guacamole remained an American food.

Guacamole (called guacamol in Central America and Cuba) is an avocado-based relish ordip.
