Simple and delicious Shrimp Stuffed Avocados.

We love avocados. Just add some salt and you’ve got lunch! We’re taking the avocado up a few notches today by stuffing them with spicy citrus shrimp. It’s sort of like a shrimp salad sandwich without the carbs, and just the healthy fat of the avocado. I can’t wait to make these again…the best part is that they’re super easy to whip up!

Ingredients need to make Shrimp Stuffed Avocados:

How to make Shrimp Stuffed Avocados:

Low carb lunch:

These Shrimp Stuffed Avocados are great because they are very low carb, but will fill you up! Whether you’re watching your carb intake or not, this lunch is healthy and equally delicious!

Make Ahead:

You will want to use shrimp that is cooked and chilled. You can prep your shrimp hours or a day ahead. You will want the shrimp to be deveined and peeled before you cook them. We like bite-size pieces of shrimp for this recipe, but depending on the size of your shrimp, you can choose not to chop them up if the shrimp is already small.
