I love, and I mean lurve, avocados. I love them fried, stuffed, smashed, and in my mouth! There's a restaurant in Austin (Trudy's) that makes a killer fried & stuffed avocado, but it's an indulgence. You eat them once a year, and you don't dare try to figure out how many calories you consumed. Last spring, my husband and I were in Shiner, Texas, for the wedding of one of my college friends. We had a fresh version of the stuffed avocado, and I was inspired to create a fresh light stuffed avocado of my own. This is my take on it. It's heaven, if I do say so myself. ENJOY!
10-15 shrimp or ½ C crab meat
¼ red onion, finely minced
1 roma tomato, finely diced
3 T lemon juice
Grated cheddar cheese
Cumin
Paprika

Cut avocados in half, remove seed, dice avocado “meat”, but leave in avocado skin.
