This week, I have been busy brainstorming and testing appetizer recipes for The Real Women of Philadelphia contest. Yesterday, I nailed it with this cilantro lime shrimp crostini with an avocado cream cheese spread. In fact, I have to admit I ate the whole thing by myself! I convinced myself it was okay, since Mike doesn't like seafood, but, who am I am I kidding? Even if he did, I was NOT sharing.
The star of this dish, surprisingly, was the avocado cream cheese spread. I promise you I am not trying to win points, since it is a Philadelphia cream cheese contest. This combination really worked! The spread was really thick, rich, tangy and filled with itty-bitty chunks of avocado. It was the perfect marriage.
So, even if my appetizer isn't chosen as one of the winners, I hope you all get a chance to make this. I made more of the spread with the leftover half of avocado and spread it on a toasted bagel this morning. HEAVEN!
You can get the easy-to-make recipe on my RWOP profile. Wish me luck!

They look refreshing in addition to delicious and I bet the avocado cream cheese spread is yum. I've got to try these... and there is nothing wrong with eating them all! Just means they are that good!
This does look delicious, and I bet the spread was a highlight...sounds amazing!
Good luck with the contest and I will check it out.
Wonderful entry to the contest, best of luck to you. Found your blog through Gina's. Look forward to following you here.

Good for you Emme going back in there. I might jump in the later part. I've been too busy with work. This is better that any of the appetizers I've seen this far. I will add you on my new facebook, so I keep up better. Hope you are having a great weekend.
