CALIFORNIA SPICY CRAB STUFFED AVOCADO



California Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocado image

These avocados are stuffed with lump crab, cucumbers and spicy mayo topped with furikake and drizzled with soy sauce. I've had this idea in my head all week, I wasn't exactly sure how it would come out but I'm obsessed with them, they came out so good!

CRAB-STUFFED AVOCADOS



Crab-Stuffed Avocados image

We couldn't resist stuffing cup-shaped avocado halves, here gently seared until lightly caramelized. Sweet crabmeat dressed with zingy lemon and tarragon is a nice complement to the buttery avocado; chopped cooked shrimp or shredded chicken breast would also work. You could also fill the halves with a fresh summer squash salad or black bean salsa. If your avocado pit is on the small side, hollow out the avocado a bit to make more room for the filling.

Yield Serves 4 (serving size: 1 filled avocado half)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup canola mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed
Cooking spray
2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl; gently fold in crab.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place avocado halves, cut sides down, in pan; cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Place avocado halves, cut sides down, on a cutting board; cut a very small (1/16-inch) slice from the bottom of each half so that it stands flat. Turn over; spoon about 1/2 cup crab mixture into each avocado half.
