Avocado and shrimp crostini are the perfect appetizer. The tender shrimp and creamy avocado go well with a splash of lime juice and cilantro. They are fresh and delicious.
If you love shrimp and avocado toast, these crostini are for you! They are perfect for dinner parties, as a light lunch, and more.
We are huge fans of crostini. There is just something about a little two bite appetizer that make it extra tasty.
Start with sliced baguette and add fun toppings. Ham and cheese crostini are always a huge hit with our family.
So it seemed past time to make some different flavor combinations. I wanted to do something tasty with shrimp, another one of our favorite foods.
I thought I could tie in some of those southwestern flavors with lime, cilantro, chili powder and avocado. Then I piled it all up on some garlic toast bites and passed it around.
No surprisingly my husband and son love them. Of course, I do too.
We love how fresh these taste. We enjoy them so much, we frequently make a meal of them during warm weather.
Go ahead and make a batch to see for yourself. We hope you like them as much as we do!
