Avocado and shrimp crostini are the perfect appetizer. The tender shrimp and creamy avocado go well with a splash of lime juice and cilantro. They are fresh and delicious.
If you love shrimp and avocado toast, these crostini are for you! They are perfect for dinner parties, as a light lunch, and more.
We are huge fans of crostini. There is just something about a little two bite appetizer that make it extra tasty.
Start with sliced baguette and add fun toppings. Ham and cheese crostini are always a huge hit with our family.
So it seemed past time to make some different flavor combinations. I wanted to do something tasty with shrimp, another one of our favorite foods.
I thought I could tie in some of those southwestern flavors with lime, cilantro, chili powder and avocado. Then I piled it all up on some garlic toast bites and passed it around.

No surprisingly my husband and son love them. Of course, I do too.
We love how fresh these taste. We enjoy them so much, we frequently make a meal of them during warm weather.
Go ahead and make a batch to see for yourself. We hope you like them as much as we do!

If you love shrimp, try making Cajun shrimp dip. It has a bit of heat, plenty of creamy goodness and that seafood sweetness.
Cajun crab chowder is another great way to get a little spice in your life. Or make creamy clam chowder for something a bit more mild.

My husband would love this recipe too. He is a huge shrimp lover. Thanks for being a part of #foodbloggers4TX!
I'm not a shrimp fan, but my husband and children are, and would LOVE these. They would be perfect for a party. Hello football season!
I do think they would be fun to serve for football! Thank you!
Hi Carlee, I've been following the devastation the hurricanes have been having over there and my heart goes out to everyone affected. Many lives have been affected and some will never be the same again.
If shrimps are popular in Texas my husband and my daughter would love it there! These bruschetta would go down well with them. Pinning for future reference.

It is amazing how one weather event can change so many lives, isn't it? We would get along famously with your husband and daughter, we are a shrimp loving household!
Finger foods are my favorite. I'd have a hard time only eating 1 or 2 of these!
It is hard to stop, but nobody's making you anyway 😉
Nothing more perfect to recognize Texas than shrimp! I remember falling in love with Gul Shrimp down there, no other shrimp has ever been the same to me! Love all the flavor you have packed into these bites!
We had to wander through a few seafood markets when we were on the shore. So fun! Thank you!
