Shrimp Ceviche Guacamole | Whole30, Paleo

You know what clearly spells summer to me?  G-U-A-C!  

Of course it's amazing all year round, but nothing beats some cool, creamy, chunky guacamole in the heat of summer.

But when your guac gets hit with Baja shrimp ceviche & all of it's fresh, lime-y goodness!?  It is a match made in heaven you guys.

I could seriously make (and actually have made) a meal out of this!

It's obviously amazing with your favorite chips (we love the Siete grain free tortilla chips or some salted plantain chips)- but you can totally use some veggies for a low-carb yet equally yummy option!

Jicama, red bell peppers, carrots, and cauliflower florets are my favorite to dip in this.  Plenty of crunch, and the guac has tons of flavor!

I start off this easy dish by cooking some of my favorite jumbo wild-caught shrimp from Trader Joe's.  Steaming it is an easy step for me that I don't mind taking- but you can also grab some shrimp that's already fully cooked!

The shrimp gets mixed in with mashed avocado, your favorite salsa verde, and some zesty chopped veggies- plus plenty of lime!  The result is something outta this world, or at least outta this country!

Try this as an appetizer, or scoop some over salad greens for a delicious ceviche guac salad!  Add a few sliced veggies & a spoonful of your favorite salsa, and this would really be the perfect lunch!  Chips optional  ;)

Hope you're ready for an amazing crowd-pleasing app!  If fresh, flavorful shrimp ceviche & cool, creamy guac had a delicious baby- this would be it!  What's not to love!?

Enjoy!
