Handheld Low-Carb Shrimp Stuffed Clementines

Print Recipe

A refreshing, low-carb/healthy appetizer that perfectly captures the handheld format! Bright orange clementine bowls heavily stuffed with bright pink shrimp and a vibrant purple cabbage slaw for that ultimate crunchy seafood and slaw contrast. Every single bite is heavily flooded with a massive, heavy, scroll-stopping thick pale green avocado sauce drip!

Ingredients

Scale
  • The Handheld Bowls & Seafood
  • 4 large clementines or mandarins
  • 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed, and chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • The Crunchy Slaw
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (or leftover clementine juice)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • The Thick Pale Green Avocado Drip
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Handheld Bowls: Slice the top third off each clementine. Carefully scoop out the fruit segments inside, leaving the hollowed-out bright orange rind completely intact to act as your natural, low-carb handheld serving bowls. (Save the fruit for a snack or squeeze the juice into your slaw!)
  2. Make the Crunchy Slaw: In a medium bowl, toss the shredded purple cabbage, fresh cilantro, and lime juice until heavily combined. This creates your vibrant, refreshing crunch base.
  3. Mix the Shrimp: Pat the chopped bright pink cooked shrimp completely dry. Toss them gently into the bowl with the purple cabbage slaw, seasoning lightly with salt and black pepper.
  4. Blend the Thick Drip: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, sour cream, minced garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth to create a rich, thick, and velvety pale green avocado sauce.
  5. Assemble and Drip: Generously stuff the hollowed-out clementine bowls with the vibrant purple cabbage slaw and bright pink shrimp mixture. Flood the handheld fruit cups entirely with a massive, heavy, scroll-stopping thick pale green avocado sauce drip! Serve immediately chilled.
