I've become a dedicated fan of avocado lately, using it in salsas, salads and soups, and enjoying it more each time I have it. My latest use of avocado was a spicy shrimp-salad stuffed avocado on a bed of lettuce and cucumber. Here's the recipe:

1 ripe avocado
1/4 C. cooked shrimp, chopped

1 tsp lime juice
1 TB mayonnaise

1. Mix all ingredients except the avocado and cilantro in a medium bowl.
2.Slice avocados in half and carefully remove from shell and place on a bed of lettuce.
3.Stuff avocado halves with shrimp salad mixture. Garnish with cilantro and a dash of cayenne, if desired. Can be served with a light dressing, such as a cilantro-lime or chili-lime vinaigrette.
