Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine chopped shrimp, red onion, celery, mayonnaise, lime juice, Dijon mustard, and cilantro.
-
Mix everything until well combined. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne or hot sauce if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Scoop out a little bit of each avocado half to make room for the filling. Dice the scooped-out avocado and fold it into the shrimp mixture.
-
Spoon the shrimp salad evenly into the avocado halves.
-
Serve immediately, or chill for 15–20 minutes before serving for a cooler option.
Notes
-
You can use small shrimp or salad shrimp to make prep easier.
-
For a lighter version, swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
-
Best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
