Seafood Guacamole
I don’t know about you but guacamole combined with anything for me is pretty much fully blissful. Put it on a burger, on a breakfast sandwich, anything Mexican and of course the infamous tortilla chips and I’m soo fine! So that’s why for me this Seafood Guacamole is all kinds of holy mollies!!
Seafood guacamole? Really? Two of my favorite foods… Guacamole and of course seafood!
One of these OMG appetizers for me…
My kind of eating for sure!
So follow me with this ok?!
Let’s take the already amazing guacamole to a whole new level of awesomeness.
Lets add some shrimp? Maybe some crayfish? Maybe some lobster?
But really this part of your seafood guacamole is all up to you. I won’t interfere with your yummy seafood guacamole recipe….I’m just here to guide you!
For my seafood guacamole, I used shrimps and crayfish, but know….
For me anything guacamole and seafood is all kinds of “Lets go with it!”
So lets start with the avocados, you can follow my Authentic Mexican Guacamole Recipe for this part….or you can use this recipe here which uses a jalapeño pepper versus a habanero pepper.
Cut open the avocado straight across lengthwise with a knife. Remove the pit by gently slapping a knife against it and twisting. Remove the soft creamy pulp with a spoon and place in a bowl. With a fork, mash avocado to make guacamole texture.
then….
Add all the rest of the ingredients…tomatoes, garlic, chicken bouillon, lime juice, jalapeño pepper (or habanero), red onion, cilantro and mix well together.
Now the finale…..
the best part for me saute your seafood in garlic and butter if you like or you can just simply boil it like I did with the shrimp and crayfish…
salt, pepper…
done!!!
In under 20 minutes you will have a superb appetizer that you will love!
