Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for bits of shell
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus 1/4 cup whole leaves
6 to 8 radishes, finely chopped, plus 2 thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, finely chopped, plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced
2 small shallots, finely chopped
Juice of 2 lemons, plus wedges for serving
Pinch cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large avocados, well washed
8 cups baby arugula
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the shrimp, crabmeat, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped radishes, chopped celery, shallots, lemon juice, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Halve and seed the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch behind. Chop the avocado flesh and gently mix it into the seafood salad. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the seafood salad into the avocado halves.
  • Toss the arugula with the sliced celery, sliced radishes, parsley leaves, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Divide among 8 plates; nestle the avocado halves on top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

I served this dish with a side of rice and it was the perfect meal. The rice soaked up all of the delicious juices from the avocados and shrimp and crab salad.

I added some chopped celery and red onion to the shrimp and crab salad and it gave it a nice crunch.

I substituted the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt and it was still very good. This is a great dish for those who are looking for a healthier option.
