Although I like to eat avocados in such dishes as guacamole, taco salad and cheese burgers, I don't really know that many recipes that call for avocado. During the avocado season, I like to buy a few avocados in the hopes of making a dish with them. Unfortunately I don't usually get to remember what I will make, and end up rushing to try to find a recipe to use up the avocados.
I found the book Absolutely Avocados, which has many recipes involving avocados. They have recipes for chocolate chip cookies, brownies and even ice cream made with avocado.
I particularly enjoyed this recipe for Grilled Shrimp Avocado where the avocado was mixed with Parmesan cheese and olive oil to make the sauce. It tasted a little bit like shrimp scampi, but with less of a buttery/oily taste. Although the recipe calls for using a food processor to make the sauce, my avocado was ripe enough that I just mashed it with a fork and mixed in all the ingredients with the fork.
