Avocado Stuffed With Shrimp

Good friends introduced us to avocado surprise in puerto penasco so this is my take on it. I used recipe#17293 to cook the shrimp. could be an appetizer or summer luncheon dish. preparation includes 1 hour to chill. you could also make the shrimp salad aspect earlier in day as i have done. After looking at sarah_jayne's review, i agree that the salad aspect is slippery so have changed the directions a bit so it works" better."

Steps

Using a medium sized bowl , mix mayonnaise , rice vinegar , parsley , dill weed , salt , onion powder , and pepper until smooth.
Mix in the shrimp , olives , celery , and onion.
Allow salad to marinate at least 1 hour.
Shortly before serving , cut avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits leaving the skins intact.
Cut a small sliver of avocado off each half so that it will lie flatter on serving plate.
Carefully remove several tablespoons of pulp , cut into bite size pieces , and reserve 4 tablespoons of pulp for garnish.
Mix majority of pulp with shrimp mixture.
Lay one piece of bibb lettuce on each serving plate , add avocado shell , and spoon shrimp mixture into the avocado halves.
Sprinkle paprika on.
Garnish by dividing reserved pulp between portions.
