Tip: on our stove top grill with my hand I [lightly] added pressure to the avocados to speed up the grill mark process thus avoiding overcooking the avocados and turning soft too quickly.

Turn the avocado halves over and place a scant tablespoon of the butter-citrus mixture in the hollow of each avocado.

Grill for an additional 10 minutes approximately or until the butter melts and the avocado is soft but not mushy.

*The cooking time depends on the ripeness of the avocado.
