Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe avocados
- 200 grams Lump crabmeat
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 whole Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of the flesh from each half to create a larger well for the stuffing. Set aside the avocado flesh for the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, lime juice, finely chopped cilantro, sliced scallions, and hot sauce.
Finely chop the reserved avocado flesh and gently fold it into the crab mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fill each avocado half with the crab mixture, mounding it slightly to ensure even portions.
Sprinkle the stuffed avocados with paprika for a touch of color and added flavor.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro leaves for presentation.
