1 avocado
1/4 teaspoon salt divided
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
18 small shrimp peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Pinch of Tajin if desired
18 round tortilla chips

Instructions

Lightly mash the avocado with half the salt and the garlic powder in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat with a little cooking oil. Add the shrimp, remaining salt, and lime juice. Sprinkle on some Tajin if you want. Cook for 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Place the tortilla chips on a serving platter. Top with mashed avocado and a shrimp. Can be served warm or cold.

Notes

They cook quickly, fit perfectly on the tortilla, and look impressive on the platter.

This keeps the bites perfectly sized and easy to handle. They make a nice presentation as well.

Shrimp cook very quickly and when they are overcooked they turn rubbery and unappealing. They should only cook for about 2 minutes per side.
