Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small border around the edges to help the avocado halves hold their shape. Set the scooped-out avocado flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado flesh with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Finely chop the cooked shrimp, cilantro, and green onion, and add them to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
Add mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings as needed (more lime juice, salt, or pepper).
Spoon the shrimp mixture back into the hollowed-out avocado halves, mounding it slightly on top.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
