Method

For the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prep the Shrimp

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

  2. 2

    Season the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, toss the wrapped shrimp with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Shrimp

    Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through.

For the Tequila Lime Butter Sauce

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 5

    Add Flavors

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Tequila and Lime

    Pour in the tequila and lime juice, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

  4. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Set aside.

For the Fresh Guacamole

    Prepare the Avocados

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados using a fork or potato masher until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.

    Mix Ingredients

    Add diced tomato, chopped red onion, lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocados. Mix until well combined.

  3. 10
