Stuffed Avocado Garlic Shrimp Recipe 445

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Spoon into avocado halves. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Half the avocado and take the pit out. Scrap out most of the meat, leaving a very thin layer to hold up the shell better. Set aside. Chop up the meat into squares and place in a bowl. With your hands, squish the squares a little bit, to crush some but so that most keep their shape. Set aside. In a pan, place about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic and the shrimp. Add a dash of coarse sea salt, and over low heat, cook just until the shrimp turn pink. Do not overcook, or they'll be dry and hard. Pour the shrimp with garlic and olive oil into the bowl with the avocado pieces. Add some chopped parsley or cilantro and mix well. (If you want to incorporate some chili powder for extra flavour, do so now before mixing.) Spoon the mixture into the avocado shells, sprinkle with some freshly ground pepper, and garnish with additional parsley/cilantro if desired. Serve immediately. (I added a leftover, hardboiled quail egg as garnish, but it's not essential to the recipe, of course.)

Steps:

• Using a medium sized bowl, mix mayonnaise, rice vinegar, parsley, dill weed, salt, onion powder, and pepper until smooth.
• Mix in the shrimp, olives, celery, and onion.
• Allow salad to marinate at least 1 hour.
• Shortly before serving, cut avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits leaving the skins intact.
• Cut a small sliver of avocado off each half so that it will lie flatter on serving plate.
• Carefully remove several tablespoons of pulp, cut into bite size pieces, and RESERVE 4 tablespoons of pulp for garnish.
• Mix majority of pulp with shrimp mixture.
• Lay one piece of Bibb lettuce on each serving plate, add avocado shell, and spoon shrimp mixture into the avocado halves.
• Sprinkle paprika on.
• Garnish by dividing RESERVED pulp between portions.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the shrimp, tomato, onion, cilantro, Miracle Whip, and lime juice. Stir gently until well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Place one avocado half on each of 8 small plates. Fill each half with a heaping scoop of the shrimp salad and serve.
