Elise Jesse’s Avocado Shrimp Tartlets

This avocado shrimp tartlet is a bold bite-sized appetizer that combines heat with a creamy twist. A smooth blend of ripe avocado, cream cheese and fresh lime juice is whipped to perfection, then piped into crisp golden phyllo shells for a light, buttery base. Each tartlet is crowned with a juicy Cajun seasoning-dusted shrimp, then finished with a spoonful of pico de gallo and a sprinkle of cilantro. It’s rich, zesty and irresistibly flavorful. These are perfect for summer soirées or an elevated appetizer spread! —Elise Jesse, Cincinnati, Ohio
