Halve and pit avocadoes. Scoop out the halves to make the cavities 1/2 inch larger, saving the scooped out portion for use in the filling. Brush lemon juice on the insides of the halves and on the reserved portion to prevent discoloration.

Combine remaining lemon juice with the next 8 ingredients in a bowl large enough to mix salad. Dice scooped out avocado and add to seasonings along with shrimp, tomato, and mayonnaise. Mix lightly. Spoon into avocado halves. Garnish with water cress.
