Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp

• If using pre-cooked shrimp, simply rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel.
• If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the shrimp, and cook for about 1 minute or until they turn pink and opaque.
• Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry.

Step 2: Chop the Vegetables

• Dice the Roma tomato into small cubes.
• Finely dice 1/3 of a medium English cucumber for a refreshing crunch.
• Dice 1/3 cup of red onion finely to balance the flavors.
• Chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Step 3: Mix the Filling

• In a large mixing bowl, combine:
  • Cooked shrimp
  • Diced tomato
  • Cucumber
  • Red onion
  • Cilantro
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Hot sauce (adjust to taste)
• Gently stir everything together to evenly distribute flavors.

Step 4: Prepare the Avocados

• Carefully halve the avocados and remove the pits.
• Scoop out about 50% of the flesh from each avocado half, leaving enough behind to maintain structure.
• Mash the scooped avocado and mix it into the shrimp filling for extra creaminess.

Step 5: Assemble & Serve

• Generously spoon the shrimp mixture into each hollowed avocado half.
• Garnish with extra cilantro and a drizzle of lime juice for an extra zesty flavor.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and taste.
