Use a slotted spoon to press a portion of the Avocado Salsa into the bottom of the cutter using the back of a soup spoon. Lift the cutter off the plate slightly to reveal some but not all of the avocado. Holding the cutter aloft, press a portion of the Shrimp Salad evenly into the cutter on top of the avocado.
