Spicy Shrimp Guacamole Bites

1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
3. Toss to coat, then spread the shrimp on in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
4. Roast for 4 to 6 minutes, just until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. (Do not overcook, or the shrimp will be chewy.) Set aside.
5. In a small bowl, combine the guacamole with the lime juice and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
6. To assemble the bites: Top each tortilla chip with a spoonful of the guacamole and a roasted shrimp.
7. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and cheese.
8. Serve at room temperature.
9. Because the guacamole softens the chips as the bites sit, I recommend assembling the bites immediately before serving.
10. If you’d like to prep ahead, you can roast the shrimp a few hours in advance. Let come to room temperature before topping the chips.
11. The guacamole can also be stirred with the cilantro and lime juice a few hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed on the guac’s surface to deter browning.
