My last Cinco de Mayo celebration was kind of a nightmare. We went to eat out and all Mexican restaurants were packed. I’m pretty sure we waited for an hour for a table. And you know… that amount of time with two not-very-happy-and-hungry little ones is an eternity! Not to mention that my husband had his “I-told-you-so” look on his face.
So this year the Fiesta will be at home!!! And not Fiesta is complete without a mouth-watering, delicious, and jaw-dropping appetizer. Just like these ↓↓↓ Mexican Crispy Shrimp Bruschetta.
Don’t let the name of this Mexican appetizer scare you away! This is an appetizer that’s fancy but it’s a no-fuss kind of appetizer. They are so easy to make and oh so tasty!
To make this bruschetta I used Italian Spicy Flatout Artisan Thin Pizza Crust instead of French baguettes. They turned out great! I loved the crispness and crunch of the Flatout crust added to this recipe. Plus, every flatbread variety is low in fat, a good source of fiber, and of course perfect for wraps, pinwheels, and super easy pizzas, or bruschetta {wink}.
These easy-breezy Mexican Crispy Shrimp Bruschettas are super quick to make!! The Flatout Artisan Thin Pizza Crust is pre-cooked, and not frozen, so it only took a couple of minutes in the oven before my bases for the bruschetta were done and golden. Find out where Flatout is sold near you here.
You can use either store-bought or homemade guacamole and salsa. This time I made my own guacamole because the one I use to buy at the store is kind of spicy for the kids. Plus, Guacamole is really quick and easy to make. All you really need is ripe avocados, lime juice, jalapeño, onion, and salt.
I bought the fresh salsa at the store. It’s one they called “farmers”, which has all the salsa ingredients, plus zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots.
I hope that this Mexican Crispy Shrimp Bruschetta makes it on your Cinco de Mayo fiesta menu this year! I think you’ll enjoy them as much as I do.
