Grilled Avocado “Tacos” with Spicy Shrimp Filling: A Bold, Flavor-Packed Fusion Dish

Serve these grilled avocado tacos with a side of Mexican street corn (elote), a fresh salad, or a light rice dish for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat the shrimp in a skillet, but avoid reheating the avocados, as they do not keep well.
If you want to make these tacos ahead of time, grill the shrimp and avocados separately, and assemble the tacos just before serving for the best texture.
Variants:

Grilled Chicken Avocado Tacos: Substitute the shrimp for grilled chicken breast or thighs for a different protein option.
Vegetarian Avocado Tacos: For a vegetarian version, fill the avocado halves with grilled vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
Spicy Pineapple Salsa Topping: Add a fresh pineapple salsa to the tacos for a sweet and spicy twist. Simply mix diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, and lime juice.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use store-bought tortillas instead of grilled avocado?
A: Yes, you can use tortillas as an alternative to grilled avocado halves, but the grilled avocado gives the dish a unique twist that adds flavor and creaminess.

Q: How do I know when the shrimp is cooked through?
A: The shrimp should be opaque and slightly curled. It will go from a translucent grayish color to a pinkish-white when fully cooked.

Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
A: Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely before marinating and grilling.
