Spicy Shrimp & Guacamole Cucumber Bites

Instructions:
step 1 In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
step 2 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Set aside to cool.
step 3 In another bowl, mash avocados and mix with lime juice, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
step 4 Spoon a small dollop of guacamole onto each cucumber slice.
step 5 Top each slice with a cooked shrimp and garnish with cilantro or red pepper flakes if desired.
step 6 Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Storage and Reheating Tips:
This appetizer is best served fresh. If prepping ahead, store shrimp and guacamole separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Assemble just before serving to maintain cucumber crispness and shrimp texture.
