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

AVOCADO STUFFED WITH SHRIMP
Good friends introduced us to Avocado Surprise in Puerto Penasco so this is my take on it. I used Recipe#17293 to cook the shrimp. Could be an appetizer or summer luncheon dish. Preparation includes 1 hour to chill. You could also make the shrimp salad aspect earlier in day as I have done. After looking at Sarah_Jayne's review, I agree that the salad aspect is slippery so have changed the directions a bit so it "works" better.

- Shortly before serving, cut avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits leaving the skins intact.
- Cut a small sliver of avocado off each half so that it will lie flatter on serving plate.
- Carefully remove several tablespoons of pulp, cut into bite size pieces, and RESERVE 4 tablespoons of pulp for garnish.

Steps:
- 1. Toss the shrimp with the tomatoes in a large bowl.
- 2. Squeeze the lime juice in another bowl. With a small melon baller, remove 6 balls from each avocado half. Toss in the lime juice and drain. Rub the exposed avocado halves with lime juice. Set aside.
- 3. Add the melon and avocado balls to the shrimp. Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Fold into the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4. Fill each avocado half evenly with the salad and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and slightly soft when gently squeezed.
- Use jumbo shrimp: The larger shrimp will make the stuffed avocados more filling and satisfying.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of seasonings: The shrimp stuffing should be flavorful and well-seasoned. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus to create a delicious filling.
- Stuff the avocados carefully: Be careful not to overfill the avocados, as the stuffing will expand as it cooks. Leave a little bit of space at the top of each avocado.
- Bake the avocados until the shrimp is cooked through: The avocados should be tender and the shrimp should be opaque and pink in the center.
Conclusion:
Shrimp stuffed avocados are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
