Ingredients
Shrimp
- 18 small to medium sized shrimp
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Toppings
- 3/4 cup guacamole (store bought or homemade)
- 18 Lay’s Classic potato chips
- Optional garnish: chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Sprinkle the chili powder over the shrimp evenly to coat them with spice.
- Cook the shrimp: Place the shrimp in the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Assemble the bites: Arrange 18 Lay’s Classic potato chips on a serving platter. Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of guacamole onto each chip, then top each with one cooked shrimp.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the shrimp bites for a fresh, vibrant flavor before serving immediately.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are fresh or properly thawed for best taste and texture.
- Adjust chili powder amount to your spice preference.
- Use homemade guacamole for a fresher flavor or store-bought for convenience.
- Serve immediately to maintain chip crispiness.
- These bites are best consumed fresh and do not store well due to the chip topping.
