Ingredients

  1. 1 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
  2. 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for bits of shell
  3. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  4. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus 1/4 cup whole leaves
  5. 6 to 8 radishes, finely chopped, plus 2 thinly sliced
  6. 2 stalks celery, finely chopped, plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced
  7. 2 small shallots, finely chopped
  8. Juice of 2 lemons, plus wedges for serving
  9. Pinch cayenne
  10. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  11. 4 large avocados, well washed

  1. In a bowl, mix together the shrimp, crabmeat, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped radishes, chopped celery, shallots, lemon juice, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  2. Halve and seed the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch behind. Chop the avocado flesh and gently mix it into the seafood salad. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the seafood salad into the avocado halves.

Great recipe! The second time I made this, I replaced half the mayo with greek yogurt and ised cilantro instead of parsley, but it’s a very versatile dish and absolutely wonderful as given here.
