How to Make Avocado Butter With Baby Shrimp Sandwiches

  1. In a medium bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and salt to taste.

  3. Thinly slice 1 cucumber and sprinkle generously with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  5. Spread the avocado butter evenly on each half of 4 slices of your favorite bread.
  6. Layer overlapping cucumber slices on the avocado butter, followed by a generous pile of marinated shrimp on top.
