Scale

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 4 sprigs of parsley
  • 4 sprigs of dill weed
  • 3–4 garlic cloves (smashed)
  • 1 Tbsp coarse salt (more or less to taste)
  • 2 quarts of water

Instructions

  1. Boil the shrimp: In a large pot, bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the smashed garlic cloves, dill weed, parsley, and coarse salt to the water. Once boiling, add the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until pink and opaque.

  3. Chop the cooked shrimp and add them to the dressing along with the diced celery, cucumber, red onion, and chives. Mix gently.
  4. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a bit of the flesh for more space.
  5. Fill each avocado half with the shrimp salad and garnish with herbs or chili powder.

Notes

For a Mediterranean twist, add sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Consider subbing chickpeas for a vegan version.
