What is Avocado shrimp?
Avocado shrimp brings cooked shrimp together with ripe avocado, usually as a chilled salad or starter. The avocado may be diced through the shrimp, or halved and filled; lemon and a light dressing are common additions. It is not tied to one particular regional tradition, and similar combinations appear in many cuisines.
Serve it as a light lunch, a starter, or part of a seafood spread. The avocado is creamy and mild, while the shrimp adds a tender, subtly sweet bite. Together they provide protein and mostly unsaturated fats from the avocado. For a lighter plate, keep the dressing simple and add crisp greens; it also pairs well with citrus, herbs, or a slice of toast.
