    Stuffed Avocado with Shrimp and Mango SaladPin

    By now my readers know my love for avocados (aguacates), and I always have avocados at my house.

    So when the Creative Cooking Crew challenge theme was revealed, I decided to stuffed one of my favorite ingredients with a fresh salad to enjoy during the summer months. I made a shrimp and mango salad with lime and cumin dressing, then I stuffed the salad into the avocados.

    This Stuffed Avocado with Shrimp and Mango Salad has a wonderful combination of flavors. It will make a great addition to your next summer party or brunch, or just make it for lunch for your family. Even my kids loved this dish!

      I have not forgotten you...I still have to comment on past post. I am just in my place in South Beach and I am just in such a lazy mode.

      I was also going to use avocado. Your dish is beautiful and refreshing. Absolutely lovely Erica!

      Who has 7 other friends these day to help eat this? I would do it a lot differently.

      First Butterfly the shrimp all the way through then chop to the same size of the chopped mangoes not dices. Halved & Quartered the grape tomatoes. All should be about the same size, bite size.

      Did I miss something I don't see any chopped habanero pepper, ground cumin, or
      Salt and pepper?
