🧂 Ingredients
⅓ cup
prepared white crab meat
canned crab meat is fine, and if you prefer to use a mix of white and brown crab meat that is fine too.
16 to 20
medium to large cooked shrimp, thawed if frozen
or about a half to three-quarters of a cup of little cooked shrimp, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons
finely chopped red pepper
2 tablespoons
finely chopped celery
4
spring onions or scallions, finely chopped
or use fresh or dried chives if they are not available.
1
avocado, peeled, finely diced and lightly crushed
If avocado is not available you can use a little more mayonnaise.
⅛ teaspoon
celery salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1½ teaspoons
lemon juice
1 to 3 tablespoons
of your favourite mayonnaise

Instructions
1
Mix the crab and shrimp together in a bowl with the red pepper, celery and
spring onions.
2
Add the avocado and stir to mix through.
3
Stir in the lemon juice.
4
Sprinkle with the celery salt and black pepper.
5
Gradually add the mayonnaise, if using, a bit at a time, until the mixture just
clings together.
6
Spoon into pretty bowls and serve. I like to make sure there is a shrimp or two
on the very top of the salad, it makes it look pretty. Or use as a sandwich
filling or to top crackers or melba toast as hors d'oeuvres.
7
Garnish with paprika or chopped, fresh parsley.
8
(To prepare ahead of time, prepare to the end of step 4, cover and keep in the
fridge until ready to serve. Portion out and garnish just before serving. Best
served on the day it is made.)
