Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

  • 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt (or more mayo, if preferred)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Optional: diced tomato or jalapeño for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

  2. Add the chopped shrimp, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl. Stir until well coated.

  3. Scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh from each half to make room for the filling (optional), and gently mash it into the shrimp mixture for extra creaminess.

  4. Spoon the shrimp filling evenly into the avocado halves.

  5. Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or a lime wedge if desired.

Notes

  • Use small shrimp or chop larger ones for easier stuffing.

  • For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or finely chopped jalapeño.

  • Best served fresh, but shrimp mixture can be made a few hours ahead and chilled.
