Avocado River Boats
- 12 avocados
- 3 pounds frozen peeled pre-cooked small shrimp
- 5 ripe slicing tomatoes
- 1 fresh jalapeno
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 fresh limes
- 3 dashes fresh ground pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt
- thaw frozen shrimp, and rinse. set aside and keep cool.
- slice each avocado in half lengthwise. remove pits, and keep three. cube avocado and scoop gently into a large bowl; add the three reserved pits (this keeps the avocado from turning brown while you do the rest of the prep or toss a few horseshoes). reserve intact peels.
- dice tomatoes and finely dice the jalapeno.
- squeeze limes and whisk into mayonnaise. add salt and pepper.
- remove avocado pits and discard. stir shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, jalapeno, and mayo together gently. mound into avocado peel "boats." no fork necessary because the boat acts as a scoop. beer, however (or a nice swig of tequila) is a must.
