Tasty Thursday: Grilled Shrimp and Fruit Guacamole

This week’s recipe of grilled shrimp and fruit guacamole by our FAB Haute Mama has me doing all types of happy dances. I never cook at home because no one eats it but me. So when I go out to eat, that’s pretty much what I order. But now, MJ has me thinking I can do this right at home! I am seriously now dying to make this Tasty Thursday treat. Thanks MJ!
