4 servings
Servings4
1 large avocado
1/2 lemon
8 shrimp
300 ml milk
1 bay leaf
15 g butter
40 g onion (finely chopped)
10 g flour
30 g cheese
2 g salt
pepper to taste

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Preparation: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh leaving 2-3 mm intact. Drizzle the flesh with lemon juice. Shape aluminum foil into a bowl and place the avocado skin in it. Remove the intestinal vein from the shrimp, cut them in half, wash well, and pat dry. Heat milk with the bay leaf in a pot.

2

In another pot, heat the butter, add the onion, and sauté until translucent. Add flour to create a roux, then add the milk to make the white sauce.

3

Add the shrimp to the sauce and heat until simmering for about 2 minutes to cook the shrimp. Gently mix in the scooped avocado flesh. Season with salt and pepper.

4

Stuff the mixture into the avocado skins, sprinkle cheese on top, and bake in a toaster for 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake the cheese to prevent the sauce from spilling out.
