This Shrimp and Avocado Appetizer is made using tiny canned shrimp and boiled eggs. It can be used could also be a lunch main dish served on a green salad.

This Shrimp and Avocado Appetizer is made using canned tiny shrimp.  It can probably be made with cooked fresh shrimp, that has been chopped but I have never tried that.  It’s just too easy to open one of those little cans and the shrimp is delicious.   These could also be served with the avocado chopped up and gently mixed with the shrimp salad and served topped on a bed of lettuce.  My youngest daughter just loves these Shrimp and Avocado appetizers, in fact, she says they taste like a little piece of heaven.

How to  Make  Shrimp Salad Stuffed in Avocado

Start your avocado shrimp salad by gently mixing the drained shrimp,  chopped green onions, and eggs together. Add just enough mayonnaise to bind the ingredients together.  Place in the fridge for at least one hour for flavors to marry.   Slice avocados in half lengthwise and peel.  Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning and spoon shrimp salad into avocado halves.
 
These appetizers are so easy they consist of tiny shrimp with chopped boiled eggs and sliced green onions with just enough mayonnaise to hold everything together in an avocado half.   We usually serve them as an appetizer or even as a side dish but they will make a great alternative choice in place of a salad.   Who could not love an avocado filled with our delicious homemade shrimp salad?
