West African Shrimp in Avocado boats

Serves 6

This elegant appetizer showcases creamy avocado and delicate shrimp.  Your guests will never know it only took you a few minutes to throw together (make the shrimp salad an hour or two ahead – cut the avocados immediately before serving).

Ingredients:

1/2 lb cooked & cooled shrimp (shelled)
1T ketchup
1T mayo
1/4 of a fresh lime, juice (or to taste)
3 avocados, halved and pitted

Method:

Cut shrimp into little pieces. Behold the little nuggets of shrimp goodness.

A bit of ruby red ketchup for sweetness.

And creamy white mayo for richness.

That’s how they roll in the Ivory Coast.

A splash of lime juice pulls all the flavors together.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Spoon into avocado halves and serve on a pretty platter to pretty people.

Preferably by the beach.

With a smile.
