Cilantro Lime Seafood Salad (In An Avocado Boat) image

Oh what a good combination - lime juice, cumin, and cilantro are so good together. This salad would be wonderful on a hot summer day or, in our opinion, any day! A great recipe if you're hosting a girls lunch or looking for a light dinner.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb cooked, peeled shrimp cut into bite size chunks
1/2 lb imitation crab meat chopped into bite size chunks (you can use fresh if you wanna go to the trouble, but not canned)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ground or super finely chopped lime peel
3 fresh avocados
extra lime juice to squeeze onto avocados
3 Tbsp mayonaise

Steps:

  • 1. Stir mayo, juices, peel and all spices together in a bowl to mix well.
  • 2. Add crab and shrimp and stir till well coated.
  • 3. Cut avocados in half, remove pit, run a spoon around the peel to make it easier to eat, sprinkle well with lime juice, salt and pepper (I also LOVE the GREEN Tabasco sauce for this step but it is optional).
  • 4. Load avocados with the salad mixture and enjoy! These are SOOOOOOO easy and taste GREAT!
