Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black and slightly soft when you gently squeeze them.
- Use fresh crab meat and shrimp: For the best flavor, use fresh crab meat and shrimp. If you're using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the seafood: Crab meat and shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a light hand when mixing the filling: Be careful not to overmix the filling, as this can make it tough.
- Season the filling to your taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the filling to taste.
- Chill the stuffed avocados before serving: This will help them to firm up and make them easier to eat.
