Yield Makes about 50 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound (about 25) medium shrimp
2 ripe avocados
cayenne to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 cup seeded and chopped cherry tomatoes
about 50 round corn tortilla chips
about 50 flat-leafed parsley leaves for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • Fill a skillet with enough salted water to reach 1/2 inch up the side and bring the water to a boil. Add the shrimp and simmer them, covered, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are pink and just firm. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water, discard the shells, and halve the shrimp lengthwise, deveining them. The shrimp may be prepared up to 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Peel and pit the avocados and in a bowl mash them with a fork. Add the salt, the cayenne, the lemon juice, and the tomatoes and combine the mixture well.
  • Just before serving spread the tortilla chips with the avocado mixture, top the mixture with half a shrimp, and garnish each hors d'oeuvres with 1 of the parsley leaves if desired.

These tortilla rounds were a bit bland. I followed the recipe exactly but they just didn't have much flavor. I think next time I will add some more spices to the shrimp and avocado mixture.
