Shrimp and cucumber stuffed avocados

This is one of the easiest, healthiest recipes you could make for a power lunch or small meal. Simple remove the flesh (intact) from two halves of an avocado, and chop it into a dice. Also dice up some cucumber and combine with the avocado. Place the mixture back into the hollowed-out avocado skins, and garnish with 2 or 3 cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined. Simple and satisfying!
