Tater Tot & Tomatillo Shrimp Bites
I was inspired to make this dish from Papas Tacos I enjoyed recently at my favorite Mexican restaurant. These would make great party hors’dourves because they’re decadent, pretty and surprisingly filling. The flavors are so good together. The tangy tomatillo salsa plays off the savory, crunchy tater tots, the sweet shrimp, and the creamy guacamole. They’re so yummy!
Make some guacamole by mashing 2 or 3 avocados with 1 crushed garlic clove, the juice of 1/2 large lemon, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, chopped cilantro, and chopped tomatoes.
Make some tomatillo salsa by charring 3 or 4 tomatillos under the broiler, then chop them up with fresh lime juice, crushed garlic clove, a drizzle of honey, a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and chopped cilantro.
Marinate peeled deveined shrimp in 1 shot tequila, juice of 1/2 lime, salt and pepper, red chili flakes, and a little olive oil.
Cut corn tortillas into quarters. Spray a muffin pan with non stick or olive oil spray and press the quartered tortillas into each section. Spritz the tops of the tortillas and bake for 5 to 10 minutes at 350 until crisped. Bake some tater tots along with them.
Heat a grill pan to medium hot and grill the shrimp on both sides for about a minute per side until bright pink and cooked.
Place two tater tots in the bottom of each tortilla cup, top with a little guacamole and one grilled shrimp. Drizzle with some of the tomatillo salsa. Yummy!
