Notes

This recipe is for 2 servings of avocado stuffed with shrimp salad. Each serving is half an avocado and half of the shrimp salad.
To lighten up the recipe, replace the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
If prepping in advance, mix the shrimp with the dressing and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, stuff the salad into the avocado halves.
