    This Stuffed Avocado with Shrimp dish is very easy to prepare and is ideal to serve for lunch or a delicious snack at any time of the day.

    Avpcado Stuffed with ShrimpPinPin

    Aguacates Rellenos de Camarones are a popular appetizer in Colombia and other parts of South America. Here are some of my favorite stuffed avocado recipes tuna salad stuffed avocados, shrimp and mango stuffed avocados, chicken salad stuffed avocados and these shrimp with pink sauce stuffed avocados.

    Avocado Stuffed with ShrimpPin

    I love making stuffed avocados for lunch during the week, because they are delicious, quick and easy to make. You can prepare the shrimp mixture and lettuce ahead of time and place it in the fridge until ready to serve. Just wait until right before serving to slice and stuff the avocado.

    What do you Need to Make this Avocado Stuffed with Shrimp Recipe

    Avocados: You have to use ripe avocados. If you don't find ripe avocados place the unripe avocados in a brown paper bag with some ripe bananas. The bananas will help ripen the avocados fast.

    Shrimp: I used uncooked shrimp for this recipe and cooked them at home, but you can use frozen cooked shrimp. Just thaw them a couple of hours before making this dish.

    Onion: I like to use red onion, but feel free to use white or yellow onions if you prefer.

    Limes: I recommend using fresh limes for this dish.

    Pink Sauce: Here is my recipe for salsa rosada, a mixture of ketchup and mayo.

    Herbs: Fresh cilantro and parsley

    Seasoning: Salt and pepper

    Lettuce: For serving.
