We have a little appetizer that sure goes well with pulled pork
sandwiches and even ribs. It's simply shrimp and avocado stuffed
avocado shells. It's so easy to make, it can be whipped up on a
moment's notice if you have the ingredients.

Simply cut 2 whole avocados in half, lengthwise, and remove the
seed. Using a large spoon, scoop out the meat and chop it into
1/4" pieces. Thaw 8 ounces of cooked popcorn shrimp and chop
lightly. Mix the shrimp and avocado together, adding
approximately a tbsp of fresh lime juice with S&P to taste.
Divide into 4 parts and place back into the avocado shells. Chill
and serve.

Sounds simple and tasty. :-) I'd be tempted to add just a little dill
weed to that, or some chopped black olives.

It might work, but I've not tried either. Of course, I've tried
garlic (crushed or powdered) and find that while I like garlic in
guacamole and garlic butter on shrimp, that it does little for me
in this combination. Finely chopped and drained tomatoes are also
one of those things that sound better than when I've tried them
and I've also played with dressings to include mayo, Ranch and
balsamic vinegar. Plain old lime juice still seems to work best
for me.

Like lemon, lime is a good flavor enhancer.
Hence it's use in Margaritas... <eg>

you might try tomato concasse instead of "finely chopped and drained".

Now, to head off a possible lengthy thread, What I mean here is skinned,
seeded and finely diced. Concasse means "chop", I suppose, and I saw on the
web that some people say it is not necessary to see, but everywhere I've
been wrt tomatoes it means the above.

For your purpose, I am suggesting tomato meat, no skin, no seeds, and pretty
well dewatered as the core is not used.

Last time I had frozen shrimp it really opened up the sluices at both
ends. Caveate Emptor.

Indeed. I've yet to have a problem with it and I've used a lot of it
over the years at $9.00 for a 2lb. bag of shelled pre-cooked with no
tails. Sold by our local grocer and always good quality.

I have no idea why, but I like the flavor of the small tail-on
shrimp in the salad, and just remove the tail and chop them a bit
before adding them. I used the term popcorn shrimp in the recipe
to simplify the description.

Pre-cooked, cold, UNbreaded, non-soggy popcorn shrimp, of course,
as usually seen in the meat counter of the grocery. See my
comment to Om. about the size, tails etc.

Hey, if it works for you... :-)

I don't care much for the flavor of any shrimp smaller than cocktail
shrimp size!
