  6. 6

    Pour the shrimp with garlic and olive oil into the bowl with the avocado pieces.

  7. 7

    Add some chopped parsley or cilantro and mix well. If you want to incorporate some chill powder for extra flavour, do so now before mixing.

    Spoon the mixture into the avocado shells, sprinkle with some freshly ground pepper, and garnish with additional parsley/cilantro if desired.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately
