How to Make Avocado Stuffed With Shrimp

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
2. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups cooked shrimp (recipe #17293 recommended), 1/4 cup chopped green olives, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion.
3. Cover and refrigerate the shrimp salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Shortly before serving, carefully cut avocados in half lengthwise. Remove pits, leaving the skins intact.
5. To create a stable base, slice off a small sliver from the bottom of each avocado half.
6. Using a spoon, gently remove about 2 tablespoons of avocado pulp from each half. Dice the removed pulp, reserving 4 tablespoons for garnish.
7. Gently mix the majority of the diced avocado pulp with the shrimp salad mixture.
8. Place a bibb lettuce leaf on each serving plate. Place the avocado halves on top of the lettuce, and spoon the shrimp mixture into the avocado shells.
9. Sprinkle generously with paprika.
10. Garnish with the reserved 4 tablespoons of diced avocado.
