Apr 11 Shrimp Guacamole Cups

Appetizer, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Keto / Low Carb, Party Food, Whole30

These are almost like itty-bitty shrimp tacos, a crunchy shell, creamy guac, sweet shrimp, and a creamy and spicy sauce. This is such a great appetizer, my family loved them, I especially loved them in the mini peppers, it was fresh and crisp. The best part is you can cook the shrimp or just buy some shrimp already made from the store. Use store-bought guacamole and mix up a two-ingredient spicy sauce. These are gluten free, dairy free, and easily customizable.

This is all you need for these little cups of goodness.

I love using frozen shrimp, I just thaw it in the fridge or place in a colander and spray with cool water.

This sauce is spicy but so good. just yogurt or mayo and some chipotle sauce. You can grab a jar of the stuff in the Hispanic section of your grocery store.

mix the sauce, cook the shrimp with chili and lime and grab your cups.

these little shrimpies pack the flavor. But you could even grab some pre-done shrimp from the store!

add acid with lime juice that will also help the guacamole stay green.

I used a squeeze bottle to get my chipotle sauce on the top. Use a zip lock bag with the corner snipped off to do the same thing. throw some cilantro on there and you are done.
