Mix the shrimp with the remaining lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon). Add the celery, waterchestnuts, hard-boiled egg and mayonnaise. Season to taste.

Fill the avocado halves with a generous helping of the shrimp mixture.

Place a leave of Romaine lettuce on each plate. Center an avocado on the lettuce and sprinkle top of the salad with fresh parsley. Cover each dish with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. Lovely make ahead salad.
