Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 200 grams lump crab meat
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Use a spoon to gently scoop out some of the flesh from each avocado half, creating a slightly larger cavity for the filling. Reserve the scooped avocado flesh and set the avocado halves aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Creole seasoning, Dijon mustard, celery, red bell pepper, green onion, lemon juice, and optional hot sauce. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat but ensure everything is well combined.
Chop the reserved avocado flesh into small pieces and fold it into the crab mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spoon the crab filling evenly into the avocado halves, mounding it slightly if needed.
Garnish the filled avocados with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
