Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the topping ingredients. Finely chop 1/4 onion and 4-5 jalapeños after peeling and washing them. Removing the seeds from the jalapeños will reduce the spiciness. Wash the 4-5 cherry tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters. Lightly crush the contents of 1 pouch of mixed nuts (like ‘Haru Nut’) while still in the bag to add a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious guacamole. In a wide bowl, combine 200g of avocado puree with the chopped onion, jalapeños, and quartered cherry tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to your preference, and squeeze in 1 tablespoon of lime juice (from about half a lime) for a refreshing tang. Gently mix all the ingredients together using a spatula or fork until well combined. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can mash the avocado more thoroughly.
Step 3
Next, prepare the flavorful toppings. For the shrimp topping, thaw the frozen shrimp in a bowl of water mixed with 1 tablespoon of cooking sake. Drain them thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Gently toss to marinate. Cook the marinated shrimp in a pan until golden brown and cooked through. For the egg topping, thinly slice the 2 hard-boiled eggs.
Step 4
Finally, assemble your beautiful open sandwiches. Toast your choice of bread – such as whole wheat, white, brioche, or bagel – for an enhanced flavor and texture. Generously spread the prepared guacamole thickly over the toasted bread. Arrange the cooked shrimp and sliced egg toppings attractively on top of the guacamole. Finish with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and fresh chopped parsley for a visually appealing and delicious result. Enjoy this healthy and tasty meal or a delightful treat for your tea time.
