These recipes are part of the fusion food, a little bit of a country, mixed up with some flavours and ideas coming from another part of the world. I am not generally a fan of fusion food, but when things reach this results in mouth, well I can review my positions. J

Meanwhile prepare the mayonnaise: with a mixer beat the egg yolk with the mustard and few drops of lemon juice (you can add more if you like). Add slowly all the vegetable oil and keep on beating until the mayonese is set. Season with salt and Tabasco.

Season the shrimps and avocado with the light mayonnaise and fill in the small bowls.
