Steps:

1. Stir mayo, juices, peel and all spices together in a bowl to mix well.
2. Add crab and shrimp and stir till well coated.
3. Cut avocados in half, remove pit, run a spoon around the peel to make it easier to eat, sprinkle well with lime juice, salt and pepper (I also LOVE the GREEN Tabasco sauce for this step but it is optional).
4. Load avocados with the salad mixture and enjoy! These are SOOOOOOO easy and taste GREAT!

AVOCADO CRAB BOATS

These boats are wonderful with tortilla chips, beans or rice. You can also cover them, pack them on ice, and take them to a picnic or potluck. Straight from the oven or cold, they're always delicious. -Frances Benthin, Scio, Oregon
