Simple Shrimp and Avocado Toast

Avocado toast lovers, trust us: You haven’t lived until you’ve tasted seafood avocado toast! Whole-grain bread and cumin-laced avocado provide the creamy-crunchy foundation you know and love. But it’s the quick-cooking shrimp, sautéed with lime and just the right amount of spice, that makes an amazing thing even better!

  • ½ large avocado
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
