Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, red onion, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise, hot sauce (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Prep the avocados: Slice avocados in half and remove the pits. If needed, scoop out a little extra flesh to make room for filling. Lightly drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning.
