This is a great recipe for a vegan shrimp cocktail. The avocado and cucumber are a great substitute for shrimp, and the lemon-tahini dressing is delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe is a delicious and affordable way to enjoy shrimp cocktail without the shrimp! I love the combination of flavors and textures in this dish. The avocado adds a creamy richness, while the cucumber and tomato provide a refreshing crunch. The
