    Baked-Seafood-Stuffed-Avocados

    I'm so happy I decided to make these Baked Seafood Stuffed Avocados. First off, I love crab and shrimp recipes. Add that to the avocado, and the Cabot White Oak Cheddar I added to the seafood mixture, and this is one of the best seafood dishes I ever had!

    The cheese did ooze out of the avocados a little bit during baking, but that can be fixed by hallowing out some of the avocado before stuffing if needed, and by making sure they are sitting flat in the baking dish.

    These baked avocados can also be easily adapted to your liking, so for you baked seafood stuffed avocados might mean more crab meat, and less shrimp, or all shrimp/crab.

      Are you using imitation crab? Also do you have nutritional value calories ect.

        Hi Susan, for this particular recipe I used freshly cooked crab legs that I cracked opened and flaked. Normally when I need crab I can get in in containers already flaked in the seafood section. I'm not sure why the nutritional information isn't showing on this recipe, I am in the process of switching over to a new nutritional calculator but can be found on my old one here. https://mealplannerpro.com/member-recipes/Baked-Seafood-Stuffed-Avocados-119075

      Looks yummy! Does the avocado have to be ripe?

        Hi Anita, the avocados should be ripe but not mushy.

      When on a budget, I use canned white tuna! Let me tell you...delicious! Never added eggs before, so thank you, like the fluff.

        I've seen tuna stuffed avocados before, but my daughter doesn't like tuna so I haven't tried it. Thanks for commenting!
