About the Recipe + FAQ
My delicate Apricot Shrimp Carpaccio with Avocado Cream Sauce recipe is a refreshing summer seafood delicacy with vibrant colors and unique flavors.
Which season is this recipe best for?
The best season for enjoying my Apricot Shrimp Carpaccio recipe is summer.
Summer blesses us with delicious apricots that burst with sweetness and a small hint of tartness. That combo ideally complements the lightness of the shrimp.
This recipe is also great to step up from the kitchen heat and enjoy something light and bright, with your favorite drink, of course. So good! 🙂
Where can I buy the ingredients for this recipe?
You can buy all of the ingredients at your local farmer’s market or store. Go for wild-caught shrimp for the best flavor and sustainability.
Can I substitute the ingredients in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute apricots for peaches or nectarines. If you want to make this carpaccio recipe vegetarian, you can use thinly sliced zucchini as the base.
Can I make this recipe part of a menu?
Absolutely, yes! 🙌 Pair it with crispy crackers, or a fresh piece of bread for a light appetizer.
For the main course, you can choose Portuguese-Style Mussels or Octopus In Port Wine.
Finish with a luscious Strawberry Panna Cotta or Kiwifruit Cheesecake.
Which drinks would you pair it with?
I love to choose beverages that harmonize with the dish’s flavors. For this recipe, I chose Cálem Port Wine Rosé. The balance from the sweet wine perfectly matched the carpaccio. 🙂
Another alternative is crisp and citrusy white wines like Sauvignon Blanc – they will certainly complement the elegance of this carpaccio.
For a non-alcoholic option, lemonade with mint will add a touch of freshness.
How long can I store this recipe leftovers?
While Apricot Shrimp Carpaccio is best enjoyed fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Recipe tips & tricks

I hope you will enjoy this summer Apricot Shrimp Carpaccio!
