How to make Shrimp Appetizer Cucumber Avocado Bites
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
STEP 1: COOK THE SHRIMPS
- Heat a medium sized skillet over medium high heat. Add Avocado Oil in the skillet. As the oil shimmers, add the Shrimps. Top with Taco Seasoning. Toss to combine.
- Arrange the Shrimps in the skillet in a single layer.
- Cook them for 3 minutes over medium high heat, toss and cook the other side for 2 more minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the Shrimps from the skillet and keep aside.
STEP 2: MAKE AVOCADO MASH
- Cut the Avocado in half and remove the seed.
- Scoop out the Avocado in a large mixing bowl
- Squeeze Lime Juice and throw in some freshly chopped Cilantro
- Toss to combine everything using two forks, until creamy.
STEP 3: TOP OVER CUCUMBER
- Peel the Cucumber and chop it into 1" discs
- Top with the Avocado Mash
- Top with the cooked Shrimps.
- Serve.
Remember: Shrimps Cook really fast. So make sure you do not overcook the Shrimps. Just 2-3 minutes each side is enough to cook the Shrimps.
Hint: I like to make the Avocado Mash and cook the Shrimps ahead of time. That way, I just assemble these Shrimp Appetizers, right before serving. It saves so much time.
Can I use any other Seasonings?
Yes of course! You can use any seasoning you love.
The best part about these Shrimp Cucumber Avocado Bites is the seasoning. From a basic seasoning of Salt, Pepper, Cayenne, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder to some popular and loved seasonings, Here are a couple of amazing options to season your Shrimps with.
Can I cook the Shrimps in Air Fryer?
Yes, of course. Cooking the Shrimps in Air Fryer will take some time, but you will be able to make large batches in once, and also, the Shrimps will turn out to be extra crispy.
Just toss the Shrimps with Avocado Oil & Taco Seasoning or any other seasoning you are using.
Arrange them in a single layer in the Air Fryer and cook for 10 minutes @380°F.
How to make these Shrimp Appetizers ahead of time?
I always make these Shrimp Cucumber Avocado Bites, ahead of time.
I love to make the Avocado Mash ahead of time. It stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Also you can cook the Shrimps ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat cooked Shrimps in the Air Fryer or in the oven. Microwave them until heated through.
Making these Shrimp Cucumber bites, ahead of time, saves a lot of time. Its just perfect for parties.
