Creamy Avocado and Shrimp Salad Stuffed Cucumbers

This is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The creamy avocado and tangy lime juice complement the sweetness of the shrimp and the bite of the red onion. The cucumbers provide a crunchy and refreshing base for the salad.

This recipe was inspired by a salad that I had at a restaurant in Mexico. I was so impressed by the combination of flavors that I decided to recreate it at home. I have tweaked the recipe over the years, and I am now confident that it is the perfect summer salad. It is easy to make, and it is always a hit with my friends and family.
