1/2 green onion (optional)
2 tsp. mayonnaise
1 lemon
1/4 lb. cooked bay shrimp
salt and pepper

directions

1
Open the Avocados. Cut the avocado lengthwise all the way around. Twist the halves and using your knife, strike and remove the pit. With a spoon remove the avocado from the peel and place it in a large mixing bowl. Do this with all the avocados. Mash the avocado pulp, use a potato masher to slightly mash the avocados so they still have chunks in it. Arrange shells on serving dish.

Cut the green onion into thin strips. Add this to the avocado mixture. Season the avocado with some salt and pepper. Squeeze half the lemon into the bowl. Next add the mayonnaise and combine this all together. You can add the shrimp whole (don’t forget to reserve 6 shrimps for the top of each avocado), or first give them a rough chop. Put the shrimp into the bowl, then mix it all together. Scoop the mixture back into the shells of the avocados, top each with a whole shrimp. Chill an hour and then serve.
