Mini Shrimp And Guacamole Taco Bites
It’s Cinco De Mayo, friends, and I hope you have some fun plans that include cocktails and yummy appetizers! If not, you don’t need to look any further because these mini Shrimp guacamole Taco Bites are the bomb!!!
The fun thing about these appetizers is they are generally easy and quick to make. That’s why I love these little mini shrimp and guacamole bites! If you want, you can prepare your shrimp the day ahead and just heat them up for a minute then assemble these little bites in mere minutes!
Let’s dive into how to make them!
Preparing for the Mini Shrimp and Guacamole Bites
You do need to have some guacamole prepared for this recipe. But this too can be made earlier in the day.
I have an excellent recipe for the Best Guacamole, so you should make a big batch of that and use a little to make these bites and serve the rest with some chips and salsa and maybe my Elote Bites, and you are good to go for this Cinco De Mayo!!!
Shrimp Taco Bites Assembly
So, back to the Shrimp Bites! After quickly and easily preparing your shrimp, you just need to take a couple of minutes to assemble the little tacos.
I love Tostito Scoops, and they are perfect little vessels for these mini tacos.
You just fill them with a bit of Guacamole, and a tad of Salsa, then top it with your slightly Spicy Shrimp with a little Cilantro, and you’ve got yourself one impressive little bite that took no effort but tastes terrific!
Enjoy!
I love an occasion to celebrate with good food, good cocktails, and good friends, and Cinco De Mayo is my favorite! I hope you enjoy some of my simple recipes and cocktails and have a wonderful day honoring this special celebration for such a wonderful culture. Happy Cinco De Mayo!
