Crab Stuffed Avocados

The first time I ever had crab stuffed avocados was about 30+ years ago. I had just met the girl who would become one of my closet friends ever. She claims to not be much of a cook, but this little dish is one of the best I ever had from her kitchen. You can certainly use fresh, cooked crab for this if you want, but the canned crab makes it fast and easy. If you're not an avocado fan then just eat this with crackers....still yummy!!!

Crab Stuffed Avocados



1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 small purple onion ~ diced
1 tablespoon butter
1 6-ounce can crab meat ~ drained
1/2 cup mayonnaise 
Salt & pepper to taste
2 ripe avocados

 

In a medium skillet, saute the red pepper and onion in the butter for 3 minutes, or until tender.

Stir in crab meat, and saute for another 3 minutes.

Remove from heat, and put mixture into a medium bowl.

Stir in mayonnaise, salt and pepper.

Cut avocados in half and remove the seed. Leave skin on avocado halves.

Scoop some of the crab meat mixture into each avocado.

May be served warm or cold....with or without avocado. But avocado highly recommended!!! :-)

Okay...here's what you need.

Saute the onion and peppers in the butter.

Then add the crab meat.

Transfer the crab mixture to a bowl, 

then add the mayo, salt and pepper.

Give it stir.

Fill up the avocados!! So yum!!!!!
