Ingredients for Creole Crab Stuffed Avocados

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • Sticks
  • Chopped Tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Tabasco Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or green onions)
  • Salt & Pepper

How to Make Creole Crab Stuffed Avocados

  1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions. Let cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon ketchup, and 2-3 dashes Tabasco sauce.
  3. Carefully cut 2 ripe avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the avocado flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of avocado attached to the skin for stability.
  4. Dice the scooped avocado flesh into small pieces.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup cooked, cooled rice, 1 cup lump crab meat, and the mayonnaise mixture.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup diced tomatoes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or other spices as needed.
  8. Spoon the crab mixture into each avocado half, mounding slightly.
  9. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or green onions).
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
