Other Ingredients:
- 7 Slices bacon, cooked until crisp and cut into thirds
- 1 10 inch Cucumber, cut ½ inch slices
Make the Guacamole
Add all the ingredients for the guacamole to a food processor and pulse until all combined.You want the guacamole to be a little chunky. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your taste.
Cook the Shrimp
Season both sides of the shrimp with salt, pepper, and cumin. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the shrimp on both sides until no longer opaque.Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Assemble the Keto Appetizers:
Lay out the cucumber slices on a platter and season with salt. Top with one slice of bacon followed by a spoonful of guacamole.Finish off with a shrimp and secure with a toothpick.
- We stuck the toothpick right in the center of the shrimp. If you try to put the toothpick through the shrimp, guacamole will get squeezed out and mess up your keto appetizers!
