SHRIMP SALAD-STUFFED AVOCADOS
This is one of my husband's favorites, even though it's pretty enough to serve at a ladies luncheon. When I needed a quick main-dish salad for my book club, I just tripled the recipe and got raves! Try it with imitation crabmeat, too. -Suzanne VanAlstyne, Petoskey, Michigan

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm avocados for this recipe. Unripe avocados will be difficult to scoop out and ripe avocados will be too soft and mushy.
- If you don't have a shrimp and crab salad mix, you can make your own by combining cooked shrimp and crab meat with mayonnaise, diced celery, red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
- To make the avocado roses, use a sharp knife to make thin, lengthwise cuts in the avocado flesh, being careful not to cut all the way through to the skin. Then, use a spoon to gently scoop out the avocado flesh and arrange it in a rosette pattern on top of the shrimp and crab salad.
- For a more elegant presentation, you can pipe the shrimp and crab salad into the avocado cups using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Serve the stuffed avocados immediately or chill them for up to 4 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
These avocado cups stuffed with shrimp and crab salad are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to impress your guests with their beautiful presentation and delicious flavor. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these avocado cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
