Tortilla Shrimp Bites That Are Perfect For Parties

Tortilla Shrimp Bites are the ultimate party appetizer—light, flavorful, and easy to pop in your mouth. With a crispy tortilla chip base, succulent shrimp, and a fresh creamy guacamole, they’re guaranteed to impress your guests without keeping you stuck in the kitchen.

These bites are the perfect blend of Tex-Mex flair and seafood elegance, making them a hit for any occasion.

Helpful Tips

• Choose large shrimp for the best presentation: They cook quickly, fit perfectly on the tortilla, and look impressive on the platter.
• Use round tortilla chips: This keeps the bites perfectly sized and easy to handle. They make a nice presentation as well.
• Don’t overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly and when they are overcooked they turn rubbery and unappealing. They should only cook for about 2 minutes per side.
