Spicy Shrimp Avocado Bruschetta

Ingredients

The ingredients for this shrimp bruschetta recipe are simple and easy to prepare. I like using ciabatta bread for the bruschetta but any bread like sourdough or even baguette will work. I used frozen whole shrimp that I peeled and deveined myself but any frozen and thawed shrimp will work. I seasoned the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, chilli flakes and lots of lemon but feel free to use any spices or seasoning you have.

  • Shrimp. 
  • Olive oil.
  • Cajun seasoning. 
  • Chilli flakes. 
  • Lemon juice.
  • Ciabatta bread. Sourdough, Italian bread or baguette can also be used.
  • Avocado.
  • Lemon juice. 
  • Chives. Cilantro or coriander can be substituted.
  • Salt and pepper.

How to make bruschetta with shrimp and avocado

  1. Cook the shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp then pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl then add a few tablespoons of olive oil, Cajun seasoning, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp in the seasoning. Place a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat then add the shrimp. Cook for a minute per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Make the smashed avocado: Halve the avocados then scoop the flesh from the skins. Season with lemon juice, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Mash with a fork then set aside.
  3. Toast the bread: Slice the bread into thick slices. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan set over medium-high heat. Add the bread and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side until golden and toasted. Alternatively, you can grill the bread in a griddle pan instead.
  4. Assemble and serve: Spread a generous amount of avocado on each slice of bread then top with the shrimp. Sprinkle over chopped chives and finish with a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
