Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for bits of shell
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus 1/4 cup whole leaves
6 to 8 radishes, finely chopped, plus 2 thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, finely chopped, plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced
2 small shallots, finely chopped
Juice of 2 lemons, plus wedges for serving
Pinch cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large avocados, well washed
8 cups baby arugula
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

In a bowl, mix together the shrimp, crabmeat, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped radishes, chopped celery, shallots, lemon juice, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Halve and seed the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch behind. Chop the avocado flesh and gently mix it into the seafood salad. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the seafood salad into the avocado halves.
Toss the arugula with the sliced celery, sliced radishes, parsley leaves, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Divide among 8 plates; nestle the avocado halves on top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

Use ripe avocados that are soft to the touch but not mushy.
If you don't have any fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat instead. Just be sure to thaw it before using.
You can add other ingredients to the avocado crab mixture, such as chopped red onion, celery, or bell pepper.
If you don't have any wonton wrappers, you can use spring roll wrappers instead.
Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers, or they will be difficult to fold and seal.
You can fry the wonton boats in a pan or bake them in the oven. If you're baking them, be sure to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the wonton boats with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Avocado crab boats are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With their creamy avocado filling and crispy wonton wrappers, these boats are sure to be a hit with your guests.
