Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add shrimp and season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl and add the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mash the avocado until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a few pieces of sautéed garlic shrimp and arrange on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately and consider garnishing with chili flakes or fresh lime juice.

Notes
Monitor shrimp closely to avoid overcooking and use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Assemble crostini just before serving for optimal texture.
