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

CURRY SHRIMP SALAD STUFFED AVOCADOS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Curry Shrimp Salad Stuffed Avocados Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mild, medium or hot curry powder
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
Salt, to taste
1/2 pound salad shrimp, cooked
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 medium ripe avocados
1 tablespoon lime juice

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.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe avocados.
To make sure the avocados are ripe, gently press on them. They should yield to gentle pressure.
If the avocados are not ripe, let them ripen at room temperature for a few days.
Once the avocados are ripe, cut them in half and remove the pits.
Scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork.
Add the shrimp, mayonnaise, celery, onion, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado and mix until well combined.
Spoon the shrimp salad mixture into the avocado halves.
Garnish with additional shrimp, celery, and onion, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill for later.

Conclusion:

Shrimp salad stuffed avocados are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. They are perfect for a summer party or potluck. The creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the tangy shrimp salad. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
