The description below doesn't do this appetizer justice. It's a regular on the menu at a favorite restuarant in Aruba.

This reminds me of a visit to London when I was in college. We had prawns in avocado halves whenever we could. As I recall it was with a very light tomato-based dressing.

No deliveries. They're on my list of places to visit when we go to Aruba this winter.

I had a half avocado (unpeeled) that was lightly brushed with olive oil mixed with a drop or two of honey and grilled, cut side down. I had never had grilled avocado, but this was delicious. It was served with grilled pineapple, peaches, and grilled prawns on a lightly dressed bed of mixed greens. Yum!
Avocados rarely make it into dish around here. Cut in half and eat, nothing fancy, no salt and pepper or anything.

Cut in half, remove the seed
Replace seed with peeled soft boiled egg
Put back together
Roll in egg, then breading...then deep fry

I bet this would be great with grilled fish. You reminded me of strawberry/avocado salsa w/ lime juice, diced red onion, cilantro & jalapeno. Your other recipe sounds unique. Thanks, Jim.

I will have to dig up a photo of Mexican avocados taken in a small grocery store there in July. They're the size of a small beagle.

A little S&P and a light squeeze of lime juice and they're good on practically anything.
I love putting them in breakfast tacos.

I like a bit of Avocado oil with that--but I just eat 1/2 at a time.
I also like homemade avocado-pistachio nut ice cream....
