A Rowdy appetizer for a unique turkey day treat!

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, the race is on to find unique, delicious recipes that will have your family begging you for the recipe and regarding you as the new-age Betty Crocker.

Why not surprise everyone this Thanksgiving with an out-of-the-ordinary turkey day treat like Mini Shrimp Tostadas with Wholly Guacamole, recipe courtesy of Gorton's Seafood? With a little kick, a little protein, and a whole lot of flavor, these little bite-sized appetizers pack quite a punch, and are way simple to whip up!

You will need:

1 8oz package of Gorton's Classic Grilled Shrimp, Shrimp Poppers or Popcorn Shrimp

1 7oz package of Wholly Guacamole (or any of your favorite guacamole)

10-12 mini tortillas (about 3" diameter), toasted or round tortilla chips

 

To make 'em:

 

1. Prepare the shrimp as directed on the package. While the shrimp are cooking, arrange the tortilla rounds on a plate or serving platter.

 

2. Add a dollop of guacamole to each tortilla round until all are covered.

 

3. Top each tortilla round with a cooked shrimp and push down slightly so it sticks to the guacamole. If the shrimp have tails, be sure to cut them off before serving for easy eating.

 

You can also add the following to give these your own special twist:

 

Add a small sprinkle of shredded Mexican cheese to each tortilla round before topping with shrimp and toast in oven or toaster oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted slightly.

 

 

Cut a jalapeno into thin slices and add one slice of jalapeno per tortilla round before topping with shrimp.

 

Have a safe and happy holiday, and be sure to check in tomorrow for another turkey day treat suggestion!
