Method

Preheat grill. Thread shrimp on skewers, five to a skewer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp about 1 minute on each side, until just barely cooked through. Remove from skewers into a bowl and sprinkle with wine while hot then let cool. Puree oil, vinegar and mango in a blender, or food processor, until very smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If sauce gets too thick, stir in milk or cream. Cut avocados in half lengthwise, removing the pit. Slice each half into six pieces. Alternate avocado slices and shrimp on each of four plates. Garnish with a few tender lettuce leaves. Spoon some sauce over shrimp and avocado then scatter some sliced green onion and diced tomato over shrimp and sauce.
