Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag scoop-shaped tortilla chips
- 12 oz raw, cleaned shrimp
- 2 tsp taco seasoning
- 16 oz guacamole
- Optional garnish: fresh cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
-
Season the shrimp
- In a bowl, toss the raw shrimp with taco seasoning until evenly coated.
-
Bake the shrimp
- Arrange shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until pink, opaque, and slightly curled.
- Let cool for a minute before handling.
-
Prepare the chips
- While the shrimp are baking, arrange scoop-shaped tortilla chips on a serving platter.
- Fill each one with a spoonful of guacamole.
-
Assemble the bites
- Place one cooked shrimp on top of each guacamole-filled chip.
-
Garnish and serve
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or add a squeeze of lime juice for extra freshness.
- Serve immediately to keep the chips crispy.
Notes
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before seasoning and cooking.
- For extra crispiness, air-fry the shrimp at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes instead of baking.
- Spice it up by adding cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning or a few drops of hot sauce to the guacamole.
- Avoid assembling too early to keep the chips from getting soggy.
