Mexican Shrimp Bites
Description
This dish features shrimp seasoned with chili powder that are cooked just until pink and opaque in a hot pan with olive oil to preserve a tender texture and slight caramelization. The individual bite combines a crunchy potato chip base with creamy guacamole and a single shrimp on top, providing a variety of textures in each mouthful.
The guacamole can be homemade or store-bought, lending a smooth, rich complement to the spicy shrimp and salty chip. A sprinkle of cilantro adds freshness and an herbaceous lift. The recipe scales to 18 bites, making it suitable for sharing at casual gatherings or as finger food before a main meal.
This preparation emphasizes quick cooking time for the shrimp and assembly with minimal handling, preserving the crispness of the chip and the bright flavors of the seasoning and toppings.
