By now my readers know my love for avocados (aguacates), and I always have avocados at my house.
So when the Creative Cooking Crew challenge theme was revealed, I decided to stuffed one of my favorite ingredients with a fresh salad to enjoy during the summer months. I made a shrimp and mango salad with lime and cumin dressing, then I stuffed the salad into the avocados.
This Stuffed Avocado with Shrimp and Mango Salad has a wonderful combination of flavors. It will make a great addition to your next summer party or brunch, or just make it for lunch for your family. Even my kids loved this dish!

Who has 7 other friends these day to help eat this? I would do it a lot differently.
First Butterfly the shrimp all the way through then chop to the same size of the chopped mangoes not dices. Halved & Quartered the grape tomatoes. All should be about the same size, bite size.
Did I miss something I don't see any chopped habanero pepper, ground cumin, or
Salt and pepper?
