Anybody ever have avocado and shrimp salad? You put the shrimp

in the avocado and eat it out of the skin. My parents used to eat it all the time when we were kids. It was only for them. I've bought some canned cocktail shrimp. I have mayo. Lime juice. Should I add garlic?

1. No matter what you're making... add garlic.

4. I'm not cooking it so maybe I'll skip the garlic.

7. Not even maybe powdered or granulated garlic?

8. Oh maybe. I'll see how it tastes.

2. I wouldn't. But, if you're a big garlic fan, go ahead...

I like it simple with shrimp. Lime or lemon. And a little salt.

If I’m ever given a last meal, it’ll be boiled shrimp. Love shrimp!

3. Great. Thanks.

5. Lime juice sounds good. Or I might try cocktail sauce (horseradish and ketchup).

Or maybe a touch of jalepeno jelly

6. Thanks.

9. Avocado with something in it is one of my staples

Chicken salad is my favorite stuffing, but just filling the seed hole with a good salad dressing works, too. Garlic? Maybe - or you could use finely diced red onion (and I'd skip the mayo if you're using lime juice)

For your next avocado adventure, try cubing the avocado and mixing it with the shrimp (and tomatoes or beans, if you like) then serving it on top of lettuce.

10. I made a yummy salad tonight. The topping was cubed avocado, cubed old white cheddar, chopped pears,

and mixed in Renee's blue cheese dressing (the kind you keep in the fridge at all times). It was all pale green and white. Pretty. I put extra dressing in it and plopped it on a bed of lettuce and then tossed it. It was yummy. I love avocados these days.

11. I would...I love garlic. My Mom and Dad used to eat chicken salad with grapes in

avocados...I thought it was gourmet food.

13. I thought it was very exotic when my parents had the shrimp and avocado.

Back then broccoli was exotic. LOL!

12. Seasoned salt is my go to for an avocado

Would be good in the shrimp and cado you had…

14. fresh/frozen shrimp would be better

I would do a version of Mexican Coctel de Camorones and serve it well chilled in the halves of avocados. yum

cooked peeled shrimp
chopped onion, tomato, cuke, jalepeno, cilantro
bit of clamato or spicy V8 or combo
lime juice
tabasco

15. Ohhh my that sounds good.
