Shrimp Avocado Cucumber Bites

Shrimp Avocado Cucumber Bites – Blackened shrimp, creamy avocado atop fresh cucumbers slices make these a wonderful choice for a light lunch or perfect appetizer.

I have had a craving for more seafood in my life lately.   We seem to gravitate to salmon each week but as I was standing at the seafood counter the other day, shrimp was calling out to me.

SHRIMP AVOCADO CUCUMBER BITES

I simply cooked the shrimp in a little coconut oil and Old Bay seasoning and used them to make the most delectable shrimp tacos.

The bonus was that I had a just enough shrimp left over to also make a super healthy lunch served on a nice crisp little cucumber slice…aka these Shrimp Avocado Cucumber Bites.

They would make a fantastic appetizer for your next party as well.

SHRIMP AVOCADO CUCUMBER BITES INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deviened

1 cucumber, sliced

Homemade guacamole (or store bought)

HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP AVOCADO CUCUMBER BITES

Toss the shrimp in the oil and Old Bay Seasoning

Cook in a preheated pan on medium high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side.
