Recipe Tips

Don’t overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook very quickly. They only need a couple of minutes to cook.

Using store-bought tortilla scoops makes this recipe super quick. If you want to make homemade tortilla cups from flour tortillas, use this Mini Taco Bites recipe.

Homemade guacamole is so easy to make and only takes a few ingredients. Don’t forget the salt. I think guacamole tastes best when it has a couple pinches of salt added.

If making the guacamole ahead of time, be sure to cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent it from oxidizing.
