Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 240 grams fresh lump crab meat
- 60 grams mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 30 grams celery, finely diced
- 30 grams red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for the filling. Reserve the scooped avocado flesh in a small bowl.
Mash the reserved avocado flesh with a fork until smooth and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, red onion, parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and the mashed avocado. Gently mix to combine, being careful not to break apart the crab meat too much.
Taste the crab mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Spoon the crab mixture evenly into the prepared avocado halves, slightly mounding it on top.
Drizzle the filled avocado halves with a little olive oil, if desired, and sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, light meal, or side dish. Enjoy!
