Instructions

Season the shrimp and grill it over medium-high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the avocado and poblano peppers, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the cotija cheese and salsa verde for a final minute.

Warm the masa separately.

Let the shrimp simmer gently for about 18 minutes so it stays tender and the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the masa, garnished with fresh herbs.
