Yield: 8-10 stuffed avocado halves

Ingredients

• 4-5 firm ripe avocados
• 1 lb medium sized cooked shrimp (OR 2 cans of tiny Shrimp uncut)
• ½ medium red onion, diced finely
• 2 radishes, diced finely
• ½ red bell pepper, diced finely
• 2 celery stalks, diced finely
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, diced
• 5 tbs. mayonnaise
• Lime juice from 1 lime
• Salt/pepper to taste (I like cracked peppercorns)
• Cilantro chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Chop the cooked shrimp in half, if desired keep a few whole to garnish OR use whole if small)
2. Combine diced onions, radishes, bell pepper, celery, eggs, shrimp, ½ of the lime juice and aioli or mayonnaise in a bowl, mix well. Can be kept refrigerated until ready to use.
3. Taste and salt/pepper if necessary.
4. Cut avocados in half, remove seed and peel carefully.
5. Drizzle remaining lime juice over avocados, this help keep them from darkening too quickly.
