5Zesty Lemon Shrimp Stuffed Avocados
These creamy, zesty avocado halves filled with tender shrimp are a super simple and satisfying keto meal.
How to make it
- 1
Start by gently patting your shrimp dry. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil if you have it, or just use a nonstick pan. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly.

While the shrimp cool, prepare your avocados. Carefully slice each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out most of the flesh into a medium bowl, leaving a sturdy shell in each half.

To the avocado flesh, add the softened cream cheese, the juice from half of your lemon, and about half of the chopped fresh dill. Mash everything together with a fork until it is creamy and well combined. Taste and add a little more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if you like.

Chop the cooled shrimp into bite sized pieces and gently fold them into the creamy avocado mixture. Spoon this delicious filling back into your avocado shells. Garnish with the remaining fresh dill and a sprinkle of lemon zest if you are feeling fancy. Enjoy right away!
