Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the guacamole will taste. This is especially true for the avocados, tomatoes, and cilantro.
Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor than unripe avocados. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to the touch.
Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you dice the vegetables more evenly and make the guacamole smoother.
Don't over-mash the avocados: You want the guacamole to be chunky, not mushy. Mash the avocados just until they are combined.
Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Cajun guacamole shrimp cups are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh ingredients and are packed with flavor. The Cajun seasoning gives the shrimp a nice kick, while the guacamole adds a creamy and cooling contrast. These shrimp cups are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
