About This Recipe:
I first came across this avocado stuffed shrimp salad at my favorite Mexican place in my hometown. I was always confused as to why this was an option at a Mexican restaurant, but I loved it nonetheless. It’s a fun, simple way to prepare shrimp, and perfect for a quick weekday meal. You can either serve this as an appetizer, or as an entrée with a side salad and bread.
Enjoy!
