An exotic and refreshing snack. Recipe from Lombok, Indonesia.

If the intestines are visible on the back of the thawed shrimp, cut a slit into them and remove the intestines. Dry the shrimp thoroughly and fry them in sesame oil over moderate heat until pink. Remove from the pan with the oil immediately and set aside. Halve the avocado lengthwise around the pit, then loosen one half from the pit by turning it a quarter turn. Immediately brush the cut edges with lemon juice. Cover the pitted half with foil and store in the refrigerator. Peel the other half and cut into 1 cm pieces, then toss in lemon juice. Divide the washed lettuce into leaves and arrange in serving glasses. Alternate the avocado cubes and shrimp with a little of the sesame oil in the glasses. Add a pinch of sugar after each layer to each glass. Finally, add the Thousand Island dressing. Garnish with red pepper and lime slices, serve, and enjoy.
