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

AVOCADO STUFFED WITH SHRIMP



Avocado Stuffed with Shrimp image

As typically Mexican as the previous recipe is, this one is just as typically American, right down to the Miracle Whip, which I have always preferred to mayonnaise. Naturally sweet shrimp is highlighted by a creamy, mildly sweet, tangy dressing and rich, buttery avocado. This is one of my favorite summer appetizers.

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound small shrimp (51 to 60 per pound), peeled, deveined, cooked (page 25), and chilled
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
4 ripe avocados

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, place the shrimp, tomato, onion, cilantro, Miracle Whip, and lime juice. Stir gently until well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Place one avocado half on each of 8 small plates. Fill each half with a heaping scoop of the shrimp salad and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped
Salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 plum tomatoes (about 1/2 pound), quartered lengthwise and cut into large chunks
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, curry powder, and ginger. Cook, stirring to break up paste, until mixture is smooth and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes to skillet. Cook, stirring, until they begin to release their juices, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups water; simmer until tomatoes have slightly broken down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shrimp; cook until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add sour cream and lime juice to skillet; stir to combine. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Select ripe avocados: Choose avocados that are slightly soft when gently squeezed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Properly cook the shrimp: Make sure the shrimp is cooked through before adding it to the salad. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil add a burst of flavor to the salad. If using dried herbs, use half the amount of fresh herbs.
  • Adjust the spiciness: If you prefer a milder curry flavor, use less curry powder or omit the cayenne pepper. For a spicier salad, add more curry powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: The avocado salad is best enjoyed immediately after assembling. The avocados will start to brown after a while, so it's best to serve them fresh.

Conclusion:

This curry shrimp salad stuffed avocados recipe is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, making it a healthy and satisfying choice. The combination of creamy avocados, succulent shrimp, and flavorful curry dressing creates a unique and unforgettable taste experience.
