Gevulde avocado met garnalen

Recipes Main course Starter Gluten-free Lunch

I find inspiration not only online, but also offline. For example, I’ve previously made recipes like: gluten-free and sugar-free banana bread and the gluten-free and sugar-free oat bars from a cookbook. Recipes from books never disappoint me. This stuffed avocado with shrimp is also incredibly tasty and, on top of that, gluten-free and sugar-free.

How to make stuffed avocados with shrimp?

Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit from each. Then score the avocados lengthwise and crosswise, being careful not to cut through the skin. Carefully scoop the avocado flesh out of the shells and place it in a separate bowl. Keep the avocado shells aside.
Meanwhile, dice the cucumber and slice the spring onions into rings. Gently fold the cucumber and spring onion together with the shrimp into the avocado cubes.
Squeeze the half lemon. Make a dressing from salt, pepper, dill, mayonnaise and the lemon juice, and optionally add a teaspoon of water. Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and fold in very gently.
Spoon the avocado mixture with the dressing back into the empty avocado shells and serve with a sprig of fresh dill on top. Enjoy!
