Prawns (Shrimp) Avocado Appetizer (Shrimp Version)

When I first visited London about 30 years ago it was not the cosmopolitan city it is today. It had a small city feel. Restaurants consisted mostly of pubs and a few Indian joints, all night life pretty much shut down with the tube and the pubs at 11 pm.

Me in a restaurant London 1984

There was some signs that London was to become the cosmopoltian city it is today. It was at my hotel's restaurant that I ate a delightful prawns and avocado appetizer. It was very simple: prawns stuffed into a halved avocado and topped with a creamy tomato based dressing that tasted like a cross between Russian and Thousand Island. It impressed me enough that I still remember it to this day.


Where I live in NY prawns are not often found in markets, so I substituted shrimp for my version. I also used store bought Thousand Island dressing to top my dish. If you want to make an authentic sauce check out this recipe: Favorite Prawn Starters.
