🥑 Use ripe but firm avocados that yield slightly when pressed near the stem for the best mash texture.
🌽 For maximum smoky flavor, grill fresh corn on the cob until charred before slicing off the kernels.
🍤 Pat the shrimp completely dry before adding the marinade to ensure a better sear and those signature char marks.
