Prep time: 20 min | Servings: 4 – 6, recipe makes 8 – 10 individual cups

Ingredients

• 1 packet of La Tortilla Factory Salsa Baja Sauce Starter
• 2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 lb. uncooked, peeled and deveined shrimp
• 2 packages of La Tortilla Factory Handmade Style Tortillas, street taco size works great!
• 1 tub (12 oz) of Yucatan Guacamole Squeeze Tube, we went for the Medium Restaurant Style!
• 1 cup fresh pico de gallo
• Fresh Cilantro
• Hot sauce, optional

Directions

Set oven to 350°. Warm tortillas in the microwave for :30 seconds or on a hot skillet for 2 minutes. Using a muffin pan, pinch and carefully line each well with a tortilla. Bake for approximately 7 minutes until crisp. Set aside.

Over medium heat, add shrimp, Salsa Baja Sauce Starter packet, and olive oil. Cook until shrimp turn pink, approximately 5 minutes. It’s that simple.

Now it’s time to assemble. Carefully squeeze a dollop of guacamole into each cup (side note: how amazing are Yucatan’s squeeze tubes?! SO easy to use!). Add 2-3 shrimps (pending on the size you bought) to each cup. Top with a bit of pico de gallo, a few dashes of hot sauce, and fresh cilantro. And you’ve got yourself a fancy platter of hors d’oeuvres.
