Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 25 raw large shrimp (peeled and deveined (My shrimps were frozen, then I thawed them in a bowl of water))
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ Italian seasoning
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 English cucumber (sliced into 25 rings)
  • 1 cup prepared guacamole (for homemade guacamole click here)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 medium lime (to squeeze on top)

Instruction

  • In a bowl, add shrimp, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper. Mix everything well.
  • In a cast iron skillet add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add shrimp and sauté for about 4 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through. Be careful to not overcook them, otherwise they will have a rubbery texture. Set aside.
  • To assemble the bites: Top each cucumber slices with a spoonful of the guacamole and a cooked shrimp. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and squeeze some lime juice on top. Serve at room temperature.
