“What can we bring?”
Welcome words, these, for dinners and parties. I always – always – accept when someone offers to bring something and always offer when we’ve been invited out.
These shrimp bites were a huge hit when our friends the Hancocks came for dinner a few weeks back. Since then, I’ve made them twice, using guacamole and cooked shrimp from the grocery store. (See? I don’t eschew ALL convenience foods.) Both times, the Easy Shrimp Bites were gobbled up in minutes, with people vying for the last one on the plate!
The next week, we picked up guacamole and salsa from Whole Foods and yikes, the stuff was so spicy, almost unpleasant, with much-too-big chunks of onion, too. Never again! The point here is to know your guacamole, know your salsa, know what you like.
SUMMER EASY:
EASY SHRIMP BITES with
GUACAMOLE & SALSA
Time to table: 10 minutes
Makes 1 to many
-
PER SHRIMP BITE
- 1 sturdy cracker, such as Melba or Ritz
- 1 squirt guacamole
- 1 cooked shrimp, shell and tail removed
- 1 dab salsa
- 1 sprinkle grated cheese
Spread crackers on a work surface in an assembly line. Squirt each one with a swirl of guacamole, then gently press a shrimp onto the guacamole. Top with a little salsa and arrange the crackers on a serving plate. (If you like, put a cloth of some sort underneath, otherwise they’ll slide around.) Sprinkle with cheese.
Refrigerate until ready to serve but even so, best served within an hour or so, otherwise the crackers get a little soggy.

Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna
