Method

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, Tabasco sauce, a little salt and Cognac (optional). Add the shrimp to the bowl, then toss gently.
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the stone, then remove the skin while paying attention to keep the avocados intact. To avoid tipping, you may cut off a small slice from the rounded skin side. Place one avocado half on each individual serving plate.
Spoon out portions of the seasoned shrimp on top of each avocado half. Season with pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional) then serve.

lprlpr 5 Avocado with Shrimp

march 09, 2011 | I would make this recipe again

This was a great quick recipe, I keep cooked frozen shrimp in the freezer and someone had given me a tip that a quick boil firms up the shrimp. That worked really well, removed the tails, dried them well before combining with sauce. Wasn't sure what to use for a side dish so added micro-greens and tomato wedges.

wildwomanjd 5 Avocado with Shrimp

november 14, 2010 | I would make this recipe again

I used a salmon patty (frozen) instead of shrimp, cooked and broken up into shrimp-sized pieces. Served on baby organic spinach leaves. This was such a delicious recipe. I'll surely make it again and again!
