Avocado Stuffed with Shrimp Seviche

Avocado Stuffed with Shrimp Seviche also known as Aguacate Relleno con Seviche de Camarones) is a Mexican dish that tastes and smells as good as it looks. The freshness of the avocado gives a lovely silkiness to the dish that is everybody enjoys. When the fresh shrimp, pimento green olives and jalapenos are mixed, the flavours take off. As a starter, you will wish it was your main course. I have served a whole avocado per person during the summer as a light meal which went down a treat.  With Avocado Stuffed with Shrimp Seviche you can also use prawns and small chunks of lobster for variation.
