CURRY SHRIMP SALAD STUFFED AVOCADOS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Curry Shrimp Salad Stuffed Avocados Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mild, medium or hot curry powder
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
Salt, to taste
1/2 pound salad shrimp, cooked
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 medium ripe avocados
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, curry powder, cilantro and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Mix in the shrimp, celery, bell pepper and green onion. Cut each avocado in half lengthwise; remove the pits. Trim a little from the bottom of each avocado so that they sit straight. Set a half avocado on each of 4 plates; brush with the lime juice. Divide and mound the shrimp mixture on top of the avocados and serve. Looking for something different? Divide and stuff the shrimp salad into four ripe papaya halves, seeds removed. Or, make shrimp and crab stuffed avocados by replacing half the shrimp with fresh crabmeat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, texture, and flavor.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together, so make sure it's something you enjoy.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Shrimp salad is best when it's served fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp curry salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp curry salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
