Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep green or black skin. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
- Use a variety of seafood: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover seafood. Feel free to use any type of cooked seafood you like, such as shrimp, crab, lobster, or salmon.
- Don't overfill the avocados: Be careful not to overfill the avocados with seafood salad, as this can make them difficult to eat.
- Serve immediately: Stuffed avocados are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. The avocados will start to brown after a few hours, so if you are making them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator and fill them just before serving.
