How to Make Shrimp Avocado Crostini
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so the baguette toasts perfectly.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush them generously with olive oil.
Bake the bread for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink.
Mash the ripe avocados in a bowl and mix in the lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture on each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with the sautéed shrimp and garnish with fresh cilantro.
For an extra kick, drizzle some hot sauce over the top before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
