I like simple recipes. 

On rare occasions, I will feel ambitious.  I will attempt one of those recipes that contain 100 ingredients.  It will take 3 hours of prep time and taste incredible.  Then I will never make it again, because I don’t have the time.

I have a husband I want to spend time with…  and a baby to cuddle… and a full time job… and now a blog.

I want something that requires minimal prep time, has few ingredients, and tastes great.

Yesterday shrimp stuffed avocados fit the bill.

Now I’m sharing it with you, so you can share in my lazy cooking habits.  You’re welcome.

Here you go:

Shrimp Stuffed Avocados

You will need:
1/2 lb small or medium shrimp
2 large avocados
1/2 head of lettuce or greens of choice (I used iceberg)
1/2 cup cocktail sauce

Step One: Dice up your lettuce and divide equally between two bowls.

Step Two: Then cut the avocados in half and place on the lettuce. 

Step Three: Divide the shrimp equally, filling the avocados and spilling out into the bowl.

Step Four: Add a spoonful of the cocktail sauce to the top of each shrimp filled avocado.

Step Five: You’re done.  Grab a spoon and eat up.

(forgive my lack of photography skills)

I think I’m going to make this next time I have leftover pico de gallo.  Maybe mix the pico in with the shrimp and put a splash of hot sauce on it.

Well… time to go do productive things.  Like paying bills… and cleaning… blogging is so much more fun than that.
