Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Crab Stuffed Avocado

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
8 ounces lump crabmeat, picked for shells
2 tablespoons gluten-free mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (ensure it's gluten-free)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Scoop out a bit of flesh from each avocado half to create a slightly larger well for the crab stuffing. Be careful not to scoop too deep, leaving a sturdy avocado base.

In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, gluten-free mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and finely chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Carefully stuff each avocado half with the crab mixture, mounding it generously on top.

Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
