Chipotle Shrimp Guacamole

This homemade guacamole with Chipotle shrimp makes a wonderful appetizer or even a light meal.

Have you ever been in a restaurant and ordered an appetizer for lunch or dinner?

Not only is it great having an appetizer all to myself, but sometimes it’s just what I’m craving and tastes so good.

One of the best appetizers I had for dinner at a restaurant was a plate with 3 types of hummus on it.

I don’t even remember the type of bread that came with it because the hummus was so delicious.

This Chipotle shrimp guacamole reminds me of the type of appetizer that could make a wonderful light meal too.

I’m making myself hungry just talking about it, so I better move on to the ingredients.

Let’s check out the ingredients.
