Best Avocado Stuffed With Shrimp Recipes
AVOCADO STUFFED WITH SHRIMP
Good friends introduced us to Avocado Surprise in Puerto Penasco so this is my take on it. I used Recipe#17293 to cook the shrimp. Could be an appetizer or summer luncheon dish. Preparation includes 1 hour to chill. You could also make the shrimp salad aspect earlier in day as I have done. After looking at Sarah_Jayne's review, I agree that the salad aspect is slippery so have changed the directions a bit so it "works" better.

SHRIMP SALAD-STUFFED AVOCADOS
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

AVOCADO STUFFED WITH SHRIMP
As typically Mexican as the previous recipe is, this one is just as typically American, right down to the Miracle Whip, which I have always preferred to mayonnaise. Naturally sweet shrimp is highlighted by a creamy, mildly sweet, tangy dressing and rich, buttery avocado. This is one of my favorite summer appetizers.
