Ingredients
- 12 Shrimp thawed, peeled & deveined, medium to large
- 12 baguette slices about 1/2"-3/4" thick
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- lime juice of 1/4
- 1 avocado
- arugula to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and move the rack to the top. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the baguette slices on there.
- Add the olive oil and minced garlic to a small bowl. Brush the baguette slices on both sides with the oil/garlic mix. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until they're as crispy as you want. 15 minutes made them really crispy.
- Meanwhile, add a splash of olive oil to a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt & pepper to taste. Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are pink (about 5 mins). Remove the pan from the heat.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado, lime, and a bit of salt & pepper together.
- Once the baguette slices are toasted, let them cool for a few minutes and then spread a layer of avocado on each one. Top with the arugula and shrimp. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I buy the 3/4 pound bags of frozen shrimp, so I had some left over. If you buy 3/4 or 1 lb. of shrimp, you can easily make more than 12 of these. Just ensure you have a second avocado, and increase the other ingredients as needed.
- I used a sourdough baguette for these crostini.
