I just made this for lunch and it is awesome!  I served it wrapped in a tortilla (I only had whole wheat flour tortillas, but corn would have been an even better match) -- spooned a line of the avocado cream along one end, topped it with four shrimp, and drizzled over a bit of the cooked marinade, then rolled it up burrito style.  I may try serving it over Mexican rice next time, and there will definitely be a next time for this recipe!
