Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 200 g small shrimp (cleaned fresh or frozen)
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 15 ml tomato paste
- 1-2 g salt or to taste
- 1-2 dashes black pepper
- 30-45 ml fresh Italian parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Submerge the shrimp in boiling water and cook until they are just tender, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Drain them and rinse with cold water, ensuring they are thoroughly drained and dried with a towel.
- In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste with the vegetable oil.
- Slice the avocado in half lengthwise with a sharp knife, remove the pit, and carefully cut around the edges to create small cubes of avocado. Place the cubes in a medium bowl, add the cooled shrimp and the tomato mixture, and gently combine. Season with a pinch or two of salt and pepper.
- Fill the hollowed avocado skins with the shrimp and avocado mixture, then sprinkle with the finely chopped parsley before serving. Accompany with fresh Italian crusty bread or a salad. Enjoy!
Notes
- Thoroughly pat dry the cooked shrimp before mixing with avocado to prevent excess moisture.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste for a perfectly balanced flavor.
- Sprinkle with extra chopped parsley before serving for added freshness and color.
