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.

AVOCADO STUFFED WITH CRABMEAT MAISON, OR COLD CRAB SALAD
I made this recently when our supper club decided to brunch instead of supper; everyone loved it. The recipe comes from a cookbook from one of the oldest and most loved New Orleans fine dining restaurants (Galatoire's); it would be perfect for any brunch or luncheon. It calls for iceberg lettuce, which I usually hate, but they insist on using it b/c the dressing works better, so I did. Also, use very good crabmeat. I am not including the dressing recipe in the ingredients/directions b/c it makes more than you need for this salad, but I am writing it out here b/c it is simple and necessary (and you will want to drizzle it on the finished salad): Creole Mustard Vinaigrette 1/3 c red wine vinegar, 1/2 c creole mustard, 2/3 c vegetable oil, salt and pepper to taste, whisk together in small bowl.

Steps:
- Crabmeat Maison:.
- Combine egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice in mixing bowl, and whisk together (until well combined); whisk in oil slowly until emulsified (this might work better in food processor, but I did by hand).
- Fold in capers, parsley, and onions, and season with salt and pepper. Chill for 2 to 4 hours.
- Shortly before serving, gently fold in crabmeat, taking care not to break any of the lumps; set aside.
- Stuffed Avocado Salad:.
- Slice the avocados lengthwise, and remove the pits. Peel and set the 8 halves aside.
- Create a bed of lettuce on 8 chilled plates. Nest the avocado halves in the center of the lettuce covered plates.
- Evenly divide the Crabmeat Maison into the cavities of the avocados, forming little mounds.
- Add a wedge of the tomato to each plate, and drizzle with the Creole Mustard Vinaigrette.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color, and slightly soft when gently squeezed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
- Handle avocados with care: Avocados can bruise easily, so handle them carefully when cutting and preparing them.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to make clean, even cuts in the avocados.
- Remove the avocado pit safely: To remove the avocado pit safely, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves in opposite directions. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the pit.
- Season the avocado filling to taste: The avocado filling can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus juices. Experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.
- Chill the avocados before serving: Chilling the avocados before serving will help to firm them up and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Avocados stuffed with shrimp and crab salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. The combination of creamy avocado, succulent seafood, and tangy dressing makes this dish a hit with everyone. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
