Directions

1

Combine the water, bay leaf, allspice, lemon and salt in a saucepan over high heat.

2

Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp.

3

Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are curled and pink.

4

Do not overcook the shrimp, as they are significantly better if just cooked through.

5

Drain the shrimp and allow to cool completely before assembling the salad.

6

To prepare the sauce, rinse the anchovy fillet, pat dry with paper towels and mince.

7

Combine the anchovy, parsley and mayonnaise in a bowl.

8

Place a strainer over the bowl and juice the lemon over the contents.

9

Add the pepper and red peppers and whisk to blend completely.

10

To assemble the salad, cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.

11

With a large spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh and reserve the empty shells to present the salad.

12

Distribute the cabbage among 4 salad plates.

13

Make a hollow in the center of the cabbage and place the empty avocado shell in the hollow.

14

Cut the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes.

15

Place the shrimp and avocado in a bowl.

16

Fold the sauce into the shrimp mixture and mound the salad in the avocado shells.
