Avocados filled with Shrimp

This is a quick and simple recipe and it tastes great. It's easy to make the filling and bring it with the avocados to a party where the avocados can be cut and filled in no time. 
The recipe is based on this one, which uses crab meat instead of shrimps.

Ingredients:
Avocados
Cooked mini shrimp, chopped
Celery
1/2 - 1 Shallots
Mayonnaise
Cream cheese
Lemon or lime juice
Salt
Pepper

Chop celery and shallot very finely in a food processor. Mix with shrimp, mayonnaise, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper and sea food spice if desired.
Cut avocados in half and take out a little bit of the flesh to be mixed in the filling. Salt the avocado halves. Fill with shrimp filling. Add pepper or parsley to garnish.
Enjoy!

Nine Layer Dip

This dip is usually called 7 Layer Dip (we used this recipe). But when making it for the super bowl weekend, we added some more cheese and avocado and ended up with 9 layers.

8 oz refried beans
1/2 pack taco mix spices
8 oz sour cream
4 oz cream cheese
8 oz mild salsa
1 avocado
lettuce
green onion
1 big tomato
1 green bell pepper
cheddar
black olives

Mix refried beans with taco mix spices and put in a dish as the first layer.
Mix sour cream and cream cheese. Spread over the refried beans.
Mash avocado and add some salt, pepper and lemon juice. Spread over sour cream.
Add a layer of mild salsa.
Add a layer of grated cheddar cheese.
Chop lettuce, green onions, tomato and bell pepper. Make one layer of each.
Top with a layer of  cheddar. And another one if you like. No one will know. They will just think it's one thick layer.
Garnish with black olives.
Enjoy with chips, nachos or bread.
This is also a great left over food.
