This creamy shrimp avocado dip is even tastier than the traditional shrimp dip you already love! Avocado adds creaminess, heart-healthy fat and fibre.

What Kind of Shrimps Should I Use?
It is the most convenient to use a cooked shrimp product in this recipe, so that there is no additional cooking required to make this dip. I use pre-cooked and peeled frozen shrimps. Because we are turning the shrimps into a dip, you can buy the smaller-sized shrimps. They are more economical and require less chopping.
Tips to Make the Best Shrimp Avocado Dip
- To make a silky smooth dip, mesh the avocado well first before adding other ingredients.
- To prevent the dip from getting soggy, make sure to completely drain the shrimps. If the shrimps are soaked in liquid, you can gently squeeze the shrimp to let out extra juice.
- The dip tastes the best when consumed immediately. Make it right before serving to avoid browning of the dip.
