    Just found your site via FB, trying the stuffed avocado with garlic shrimp on Friday, I have been looking for a recipe for sorullitos con queso, found several, quite easy to make but I don’t know what type of cheese, people say white cheese, well I’m sure it’s not mozzarella, do you have a recipe and can you suggest a cheese, it has to melt really good, I will be trying some of your recipes, Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

    Great recipe! My husband are doing a diet close to Paleo, except that we cannot eat fruit or anything white.

    Thanks, it was delicious!ReplyCancel

    • The Saffron GirlSeptember 2, 2015 - 01:21

      Thank you Mary! Why can’t you eat fruit? and what do you mean by anything white? I’m not sure which recipe you tried, but thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the blog and the Paleo lifestyle! xx DebraReplyCancel

  • NikkiOctober 13, 2015 - 14:26

    I came across your avocado+shrimp recipe on greatist.com, while googling for single serving recipes. I’m mostly vegetarian (but eat anything without eyes…) so substituted the shrimp. I did one half with scallops (no eyes, as such) and the other half with halloumi. Both were amazing. All the garlicky and avocado yumminess. Great recipe – Thanks for sharing!! NikkiReplyCancel

    • The Saffron GirlOctober 13, 2015 - 22:14

      Hi Nikki,
      That’s funny (about the eyes)! 😉 And I’m happy to hear you liked the recipe with the changes you made! Thank you for sharing your comments as well. Debra xxReplyCancel
