Guacamole + Spicy Shrimp

Spicy Shrimp & Guacamole Bites.

Ingredients:

For the Guacamole:

3 ripe avocados, mashed

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for extra spice)

1 lime, juiced

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Shrimp:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tostada Cups:

Small corn tortillas

Cooking spray or oil

Instructions:

Prepare Guacamole: Combine all guacamole ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Season Shrimp: Toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Cook Shrimp: Grill or pan-fry shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.

Prepare Tostada Cups: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray or brush tortillas with oil. Drape each tortilla over two bars of your oven rack to create a curved shape. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. (Alternatively, you can use a small muffin tin and gently press the tortillas into the cups before baking.)

Assemble Bites: Fill each tostada cup with a spoonful of guacamole. Top with 1-2 cooked shrimp and garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro, if desired.


Cooking Time: Approximately 20 minutes
