Discover how to prepare delectable Verrines Avocat Crevettes, a perfect appetizer full of vibrant flavors and elegant presentation.

300 grams Crevettes (Shrimp) Can substitute with cooked or marinated tofu for vegetarian alternative.

2 pieces Avocat (Avocado) Make sure they are ripe, soft, but not mushy.
150 grams Crème fraîche (Creme fraiche) Greek yogurt is a lighter substitute.
2 tablespoons Jus de citron vert (Lime juice) Prevents avocado from browning.
1 piece Échalote (Shallot) Adds a subtle onion flavor.
1 teaspoon Piment d'Espelette (Espelette pepper) Cayenne can be used for a spicier version.

Start by rinsing your cooked shrimp. If using raw shrimp, boil water, add a bay leaf, cook shrimp for 2 minutes, cool in ice water, and chop into medium pieces. Marinate with shallots, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Cut avocados in half, remove pits, scoop into a bowl, sprinkle with lime juice, mash with a fork, then mix in crème fraîche, salt, pepper, and Espelette pepper.
Layer the verrines in elegant glasses starting with ⅓ of the avocado puree, followed by ⅓ of the marinated shrimp, and top with another layer of avocado puree.
Garnish by placing reserved whole shrimp on top, adding fresh cilantro and lime zest. Optionally, sprinkle with Espelette pepper.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Creating delicious Verrines Avocat Crevettes is about enjoyment and presentation.
