In the meantime, prepare chimichurri by adding parsley, remaining half of garlic, shallot, red pepper flake, other half of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a medium mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity, salt for flavor, or red pepper flake for heat. Cut avocado into cubes, add to bowl, and toss to combine. Set aside.
