  3. Add salt, pepper, and a splash of lime juice to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Spoon the shrimp mixture into each avocado half generously.

Notes

Choose ripe avocados and customize your filling by adding ingredients like corn or jalapeños. Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for one day in the fridge with lime juice to prevent browning.
