Black Beans and Avocado with Shrimp

Thick-skinned fruits that range from bright green to purplish black, avocados are loaded with nutrients. If you plan to eat them right away, choose avocados that yield to gentle pressure. If you’re buying them for later in the week, chose slightly underripe avocados; they will ripen at room temperature in a few days.
