Spicy Shrimp Guacamole Bites
Ingredients:
- 3/4 pound raw small (60-80 count) shrimp peeled, deveined, tails off, about 24 shrimp total (I bought mine frozen, then thawed them in a bowl of warm water.)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dave’s Ancho Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup Green Lava Hot Sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, plus additional for garnish
- Bite-sized round corn tortilla chips
- Crumbled feta cheese or queso fresco, for serving
Instructions:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Dave’s Ancho Powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat, then spread the shrimp on in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 4 to 6 minutes, just until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through (do not over cook, or the shrimp will be chewy). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the Green Lava Hot Sauce with the lime juice and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
- To assemble the bites: Top each tortilla chip with a spoonful of the Green Lava Hot Sauce mixture and a roasted shrimp. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and cheese. Serve at room temperature.
