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.
