I’m allergic to shellfish, is there a replacement I could use?

Should this be served cold or heated?

This shrimp and avocado stack should absolutely be served cold! Heat will cause the tower to get mushy and fall apart. Once prepared, you can keep them in the fridge to ensure they stay in their proper shape.
