Description
A fresh and creamy no-cook appetizer featuring tender shrimp in a zesty sauce served inside ripe avocado halves.
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked small shrimp, tails removed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 fresh lemon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, ground ginger, and salt until completely smooth and combined.
- Add the cooked shrimp to the bowl and toss gently until they are thoroughly coated in the dressing. If using large shrimp, chop them into smaller pieces first.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of flesh to create a larger cavity if needed, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over the exposed avocado to prevent browning.
- Spoon the creamy shrimp mixture generously into the hollow of each avocado half and serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a tangier, lighter version. Serve with crackers or eat with a spoon.
