Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 ripe avocados, mashed

1 small lime, juiced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the spices. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

      Make the Guacamole: In a large bowl, combine the mashed avocados, lime juice, onion, tomato, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Mix gently until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Bites: On each tortilla chip, spoon a generous dollop of guacamole. Top it with a few pieces of the spicy shrimp.

          Serve: Arrange the Spicy Shrimp Guacamole Bites on a serving platter. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges on the side for a burst of flavor.
