Ingredients and Kitchen Tools Needed

You will require ingredients:

  • avocado and cold water prawns (peeled, pre-boiled with no tails).
  • creamy spicy dressing - paleo or whole 30 approved mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, chili powder, minced garlic clove, juice of ¼ of a lemon, chopped fresh dill, and some water to thin out the dressing, as required.

You will need the following kitchen tools:

  • A chef's knife - to cut the avocado
  • A chopping board - comes in handy, especially if one doesn't have great knife skills, like me
  • Mixing bowl - one to whip up the creamy dressing as well as prepare the filling
  • Salad dressing container - for serving the sauce
  • A whisk - to mix everything together

How to Make

Make the sauce: Whisk all the ingredients except the water and dill in a bowl. If the sauce is too thick, thin it out by slowly adding water, one tablespoon at a time until the desired thickness is attained. Add the dill, mix then set the sauce aside on a serving container and proceed to work on the avocado.

Prepare the avocado: Scoop a bit of flesh from the avocados, about two tablespoons worth from each avocado and set aside on a plate. Next, add the scooped avocado flesh to a bowl and press with a fork. Add the prawns and half of the sauce to the bowl with the scooped-out avocado flesh and mix. Scoop the avocado and prawn-sauce mix into the boats to serve. Drizzle as much of the remaining sauce on top and serve.

Common Questions Related to this recipe

What calories and amount of carbohydrates do avocados have?

Avocado calories will depend on the origin, ripeness, and type of avocado (see the table below). Avocados are low-carbohydrate fruits. Good to know: Did you know that the part of the avocado near the skin has the most nutrition? This part is rich in antioxidants. That’s why it’s best to scratch out every yummy bit from the skin to get the most out of the avocado.

Nutritional Information of (Haas)avocado

It is a good thing most people nowadays know how healthy avocados are. They are loaded with loads of healthy fats!! A medium-sized avocado has approximately 240 calories comprising 12.8g carbs, 22g fat, and about 3g protein.

Can avocados be eaten by diabetics?

Due to the numerous health benefits, avocados can safely be eaten by diabetics. Avocados are loaded with calcium, iron, niacin and phosphorus. They also contain very little sugar, and net carbohydrates and assist increase insulin sensitivity as well as lower blood cholesterol. Diabetics should, however, exercise caution since avocados contain mannoheptulose which may inhibit the release of insulin thereby increasing blood sugar levels.

Chef's Tips

  • I know that garlic is a sensitive matter so if you do not like garlic simply substitute the garlic in this prawn-stuffed avocado boat recipe for a tablespoon of chopped chives.
  • It is advisable to freeze avocados when ripe. To freeze an avocado whole, cut it lengthwise and remove the pit. Drizzle lemon juice on top and wrap with clingfilm or keep in airtight containers then store in the freezer. Alternatively, cut the avocado lengthwise, remove the pit then peel and cut into small cubes. Store these in airtight containers and freeze. Perfect for use in smoothies or dressings.
  • Frozen avocado will keep good in the freezer for approximately 8 months.To unfreeze, simply keep the container with the avocados over a warm water bath over the countertop. How long the avocados take to thaw will depend on how warm your kitchen is.
  • The sauce in this recipe will keep in the fridge when stored in an airtight container, for up to 5 days.
