Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with slightly soft flesh. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
Use a variety of seafood: Don't just stick to one type of seafood. Try using a combination of different seafood, such as shrimp, crab, lobster, and scallops, to add flavor and texture to your dish.
Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will become tough and chewy.
Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Mayonnaise can easily overpower the other flavors in the dish, so use it sparingly. A little bit of mayonnaise goes a long way.
Add some spice: If you like spicy food, add some chopped jalapeño or cayenne pepper to the stuffing. You can also use a spicy mayonnaise.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Garnish the stuffed avocados with fresh herbs before serving.

Conclusion:

Seafood stuffed avocados are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a special occasion.
