Seared Ahi -Avocado Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 -8 ounces fresh ahi tuna (yellow Fin Tuna)
    2/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
    5 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
    2 chili peppers (Fresnos)
    5 fresh garlic cloves, minced
    2 limes, juiced
    1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (plus a little extra)
    1/2 teaspoon sugar (to cut some of the tartness of the limes)
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus a little extra)
    1/2 cup scallion
    2 avocados (ripe)
    12 large shrimp
    1 dash salt and pepper
Preparation
    Brush your Ahi with Extra Virgin olive oil and lightly salt and pepper each side.
    Sear your fresh Ahi over a hot mesquite grill. This gives a wonderful flavor from the mesquite. 90 seconds on each side is sufficient. Set aside to rest and cool.
    -Salsa-
    In a medium bowl, add lime juice, ginger, Olive oil, garlic, fresco chili, sugar, scallions, cilantro, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    -Shrimp garnish-
    Clean and de-vein shrimp.
    In a hot skillet, add a bit of olive oil. Add shrimp and cook for 90 seconds, coat with a bit of soy sauce, flip and repeat.
    -Assembly-.
    Layer avocado on a small plate. Slice Ahi into 1/4\" slabs against the grain. Should yield about 12 slices. Layer 4 slices on the avocado. Add a ribbon of Salsa along the center of the Ahi. Garnish with 4 pieces of shrimp on the outside.
    Enjoy!
