Stuffed Avocado with Shrimp and Tarragon- a light and healthy summer meal perfect for brunch, lunch or a light dinner. Keto friendly!
Our inner monologues have tremendous power over us. They can affect not only our mood, not only our physical bodies, but also our every waking moment—and, therefore, every consequence.―
Here is a light and refreshing keto-friendly salad- perfect for warm summer days! Stuffed Avocados with Shrimp and Tarragon. The shrimp salad can be made ahead and keeps for several days getting ever more flavorful as it marinates.
When ready to serve, simply halve an avocado, remove the seed and fill to your heart’s desire. Top with sunflower sprouts! So easy, so delicious! It also makes for such a pretty plate, don’t you think?
The combination of tarragon and mustard seed is so very French- so I love to serve this up with a glass of champagne and call it dinner.
This Stuffed Avocado with Shrimp could be your work lunch (just bring the avocado whole, and stuff it at work) or this could be a salad course of a full-on plated dinner.
I’m obsessed with salads during summer- I swear I could eat them every meal. Thankfully Brian enjoys them too.
Crunchy radishes and celery add such good texture to the salad. I love how this salad feels in my mouth! Pop a bottle of Champagne and celebrate summer with this easy meal!
Cheers!
