This Shrimp Appetizer features blackened shrimp atop creamy avocado and a cucumber slice. It’s an easy, cold appetizer recipe to serve at any party or Holiday gathering.

This is one of the easiest appetizer recipes ever and always gets raves whenever I make it for parties. The shrimp is loaded with flavor, the cucumber is the perfect crunch and the guacamole is the perfect touch.

Even more of a bonus is that that are a super low calorie appetizer.  With less than 70 calories each, they are also gluten-free, paleo and low-carb as well.

I simply cooked the shrimp in a little coconut oil and Old Bay seasoning. You can easily make them more spicy if you prefer by adding a little cayenne pepper. The key to cooking the shrimp is to separate them in the pan and not allow them to touch each other.

You can use this shrimp in recipes like this Spicy Shrimp Salad or this Shrimp and Chickpea Salad as well.
