Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
Add lime juice and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything gently until well combined.
Scoop out a small amount of avocado flesh from each half to create more space for the filling. Dice the scooped avocado and stir it into the shrimp mixture.
Spoon the shrimp filling evenly into the avocado halves.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

You can substitute shrimp with crab meat or cooked chicken.
For extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce to the shrimp mix.
Best enjoyed fresh, as avocados can brown if made too far in advance.
