Creamy garlic herb dip

Place 1/2 cup cashews, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a high-powered blender. Blend on high until silky smooth (about 2 minutes with a Vitamix).
Remove the top and allow to cool to room temperature.
Add in herbs and pulse just to quickly combine.
Transfer to small bowl and chill until ready to serve.

Grilled shrimp

Preheat grill to 400°F (medium-high heat).
Skewer 1.5 lb shrimp onto skewers and place on sheet pan. Brush both sides with 1/4 cup avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides (approximately 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper).
Once grill is hot, add skewers and grill (with top open) for about 2 minutes per side or until shrimp are pink and opaque throughout. This cook time is for large shrimp. Adjust cook time slightly based on size of shrimp.
Remove skewers to a serving platter, squeeze half a lemon over the shrimp, and serve with creamy garlic herb dip.
