Equipment

  • A chef's knife - to cut the avocado
  • a chopping board
  • 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

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 100 g cold water prawns – peeled, pre-boiled with no tails 3.5 ounce

CREAMY SPICY DRESSING

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise paleo or whole 30 approved
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • ⅛ teaspoon  chilli powder
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • juice of ¼ of a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill - finely chopped optional
  • some water to thin out the dressing - as required

Instructions

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.
  • Add the scooped out avocado flesh to a bowl and press with a fork. Next, add the prawns and half of the sauce to the bowl with the scooped-out avocado flesh and mix.
  • Scoop the avocado and prawn mix into the boats to serve. Drizzle as much of the remaining sauce on top and serve.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
  • To ripen an avocado quickly, place it in a paper bag with a banana over a warm countertop for a couple of days.
  • 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.
