These Spicy Shrimp Guacamole Bites are a quick and easy appetizer made with cool cucumber slices topped with creamy guacamole and spicy sautéed shrimp. They’re gluten-free, low-carb, and perfect for parties or healthy snacking.

Ingredients

  • 24 large cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails removed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large cucumber, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared guacamole (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Hot sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the cooked shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until heated through and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer on a serving platter.
  4. Top each cucumber slice with a spoonful of guacamole.
  5. Place one shrimp on top of each guacamole-topped cucumber slice.
  6. Garnish with a cilantro leaf and a small dash of hot sauce, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use small to medium shrimp for better bite-size portions.
  • Make ahead by slicing cucumbers and preparing shrimp in advance. Assemble just before serving.
  • You can use homemade or store-bought guacamole based on preference and time.
