Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small border around the edges to help the avocado halves hold their shape. Set the scooped-out avocado flesh into a bowl.
Step 2
Mash the avocado flesh with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Step 3
Finely chop the cooked shrimp, cilantro, and green onion, and add them to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
Step 4
Add mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings as needed (more lime juice, salt, or pepper).
Step 6
Spoon the shrimp mixture back into the hollowed-out avocado halves, mounding it slightly on top.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
