STUFFED AVOCADO GARLIC SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.4/5)

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.)

SHRIMP STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Toss the shrimp with the tomatoes in a large bowl.
• Squeeze the lime juice in another bowl. With a small melon baller, remove 6 balls from each avocado half and save the leftover shells of the avocado halves intact, to use for serving the salad. Toss the lime juice into the avocado balls and then drain the juice into a bowl. Rub the exposed avocado halves with the drained lime juice; discard extra lime juice.
• Add both the cantaloupe and honeydew melon balls, and avocado balls to the shrimp and tomato mixture.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Fold into the shrimp mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fill each avocado half evenly with the salad filling and cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Just before serving, garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
