Avocado with Shrimp Appetizer

Introduction

On a hot summer day, you need refereshing starters: Avocado with Shrimp is a Mediterrenean favorite that is very quick to prepare, yet delicious. Cut a ripe avocado into halves and drizzle with lemon juice and add salt and pepper. Then add some shrimp. You may want to try topping off the avocado with a "Sauce Americaine" - just mix sour cream with Ketchup and add salt to taste.

Ingredients

• 3 medium avocados, halved, pit and skin removed
• 4 oz crab meat
• 5 large shrimp, boiled, chilled and then chopped into small chunks
• 1 tablespoon red bell pepper, small dice
• 1 tablespoon red onion, small dice
• 1 tablespoon celery, small dice
• ½ tablespoon parsley, small dice
• 1 ½ tablespoon lite mayo
• Fresh black pepper
• Chili lime sauce
• ¼ cup lite mayo
• 1 tablespoon siracha sauce
• 2 tablespoon Chili Lime Cholula

Preparation

• Combine all ingredients together and mix well
• Scoop the crab & shrimp mixture onto the avocado
• Squirt the sauce over the avocado and sprinkle with parsley

Serving Suggestion

For something a bit more dressed up but still deliciously easy to prepare, look to shrimp scampi, a quick-fix classic that pairs garlic, lemon and often a splash of white wine with the tender shellfish.
