For this recipe, you will need:- 3 avocados
- 1/2 green onion
- 2 tsp. mayonnaise
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 lb. cooked bay shrimp

Open the Avocados
Cut the avocado lengthwise all the way around. Twist the halves and using your knife, strike and remove the pit. With a spoon remove the avocado from the peel and place it in a large mixing bowl. Do this with all the avocados.Mash the Avocado Pulp
Use a potato masher to slightly mash the avocados so they still have chunks in it. Save the shells for later.Prepare the Avocado Filling
Then, cut the green onion into thin strips. Add this to the mixture. Season the avocado with some salt and pepper. Squeeze half the lemon into the bowl. Next add the mayonnaise and combine this all together.You can add the shrimp whole, or first give them a rough chop. Put the shrimp into the bowl, then mix it all together.
