Ceviche-Stuffed Avocado
6 servings
Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Description
Rather than serving this easy mock shrimp ceviche with chips or tortillas, cut some carbs and pile the citrusy seafood in fresh avocado "bowls" for a fun and healthy presentation.
Directions
- Combine lemon juice, lime juice and sugar in a medium nonreactive bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add shrimp and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
- Remove the shrimp from the bowl and discard liquid. Return the shrimp to the bowl and stir in cucumber, jalapeño, tomato, cilantro, oil and salt.
- Leaving the skin on, halve and pit the avocados. Top each avocado half with about 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture.
