I loved the idea of this recipe, but wanted it to come out a bit chunkier and not so much like a dip, so I added another extra avocado, chunked largely and only about 1/4 cup of the cocktail sauce. Also, a little fresh ground pepper. I served in martini glasses with extra shrimp garnishing the side of the glass. It turned out beautifully and tasted incredible.
ingredients
For the shrimp and cucumber bites:
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deviened
1 cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup remoulade sauce (optional)
For the avocado sauce:
1 avocado, mashed
1 green onion, thinly sliced or chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro and/or parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and cayenne to taste
directions
For the shrimp and cucumber bites:
Toss the shrimp in the oil and the seasoning and cook in a preheated (medium-high heat) heavy bottomed pan/skillet until slightly blackened, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Assemble the bites with cucumber slices, topped with avocado sauce, shrimp and remoulade sauce.
For the avocado sauce:
Mix everything and enjoy!
Option: Use your favourite guacamole instead of this avocado sauce.
