Recipe of the Week
Stuffed Avocado with Garlic Shrimp
Author:
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 1-2
Serves 1 as a meal, or 2 as an appetizer
Ingredients
- 1 whole medium avocado
- about 2 cups medium to large shrimp, raw or uncooked frozen (defrost prior to cooking)
- 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
- olive oil
- coarse sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- chili powder, optional
Instructions
- Half the avocado and take the pit out.
- Scrap out most of the meat, leaving a very thin layer to hold up the shell better. Set aside.
- Chop up the meat into squares and place in a bowl. With your hands, squish the squares a little bit, to crush some but so that most keep their shape. Set aside.
- In a pan, place about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic and the shrimp.
- Add a dash of coarse sea salt, and over low heat, cook just until the shrimp turn pink. Do not overcook, or they’ll be dry and hard.
- Pour the shrimp with garlic and olive oil into the bowl with the avocado pieces.
- Add some chopped parsley or cilantro and mix well. (If you want to incorporate some chili powder for extra flavor, do so now before mixing.)
- Spoon the mixture into the avocado shells, sprinkle with some freshly ground pepper, and garnish with additional parsley/cilantro if desired.
- Serve immediately.
- (I added a leftover, hard boiled quail egg as garnish, but it’s not essential to the recipe, of course.)
Hi! Thanks for the support! There USED to be that support group with that great lady! What happened? : )
Dear Doctors – Keep the Godsend messages coming. I’m keeping all the material you discuss in a special file and plan to review them as needed. I also love the recipes we are given and will definitely fit those in as well.
I think a support group is a fantastic idea and have been looking for one without success. Thank you for the ongoing support and education.
