FAQ’s and Tips

Can I make chili shrimp guacamole toasts ahead of time?

The shrimp can be cooked ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For best flavor and texture, assemble the toasts just before serving so the bread stays crisp and the guacamole stays fresh.

What type of bread works best for these toasts?

Sourdough, baguette slices, or rustic artisan bread work best because they toast well and hold the toppings without getting soggy.

Are these chili shrimp toasts very spicy?

They have a mild to medium heat, depending on the chili seasoning used. You can easily adjust the spice level by adding more chili or keeping it mild.

Can I substitute the shrimp?

Yes, grilled chicken, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted chickpeas are great alternatives if you want a different protein or a seafood-free option.
