Blackened Shrimp Avocado Cucumber Bites
Description
The recipe involves tossing peeled and deveined shrimp in coconut oil and Old Bay seasoning, then cooking them over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until blackened but tender. Fresh cucumber slices provide a crisp base for a dollop of guacamole, either store-bought or homemade. Once the shrimp are cooked, they are placed atop the guacamole on each cucumber round, creating bite-sized, flavorful snacks.
This no-bake recipe emphasizes the contrast between the warm, spiced shrimp and cool, creamy avocado with the refreshment of cucumber. It can be served as finger food at gatherings, light appetizers, or a simple snack on warm days. The easy assembly requires minimal cooking and no ovens.
