FIERY SHRIMP, AVOCADO AND PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the penne. Before you boil the pasta, set the shrimp in a strainer and dip them in boiling water to cook them through, a few minutes. Drain, cool, pat dry and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the penne to the same boiling water and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but still firm. In a food processor puree the green onions, celery, oil, lemon juice, and thyme. Season to taste with Tabasco sauce.
• Drain pasta and rinse under cold water to cool thoroughly. Drain again and pat dry.
• Combine the pasta, shrimp and toss with the dressing. Right before serving, peel, pit and dice the avocados and add them to the pasta. Toss gently and adjust the seasoning.
