Mexican Seafood Filled Avocados

Features:

    This has a very clean and crisp taste - the cilantro REALLY makes it pop. I made it for a friend's birthday dinner - I sliced the avacados and spread them out on a plate before putting the lettuce and seafood mixture on top. I thought there was a teensy bit much lime, but that's a personal preference. It was a big hit during dinner. Great recipe, and simple to put together!

    Mexican Seafood Filled Avocados (Aquacates Con Mariscos), This is just another version of a seafood salad but in Mexico you are often served this or seviche as your first course Don’t cut the avocados until just before serving as they discolor quickly You can prevent some discoloration by rubbing a thin coat of lime juice to the exposed edges , This has a very clean and crisp taste – the cilantro REALLY makes it pop I made it for a friend’s birthday dinner – I sliced the avacados and spread them out on a plate before putting the lettuce and seafood mixture on top I thought there was a teensy bit much lime, but that’s a personal preference It was a big hit during dinner Great recipe, and simple to put together!, Bergy, Bergy, Bergy this was so light, easy, and yummy! My dad, who is such a tough customer, said it was delicious! But he did suggest first removing the avocado from its shell, slicing it, and fanning out the avocado on the plate and then layering the crab mix on top I hate to admit it, but that might be a fun and fancy way to try it next time ANYWAY I thought it was sheer perfection just the way it was and just loved it Thank you!
