Steps:

• For the cucumber-chile mignonette: In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, vinegar, mint, cilantro, shallot and chile pepper, and season with a pinch of sugar and a little salt. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
• For the shrimp salad: When ready to serve, combine the shrimp with the mignonette. Arrange the toasted baguette slices on a serving tray and top each with the shrimp and mignonette mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush the baguette slices on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the slices on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
• In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; whisk until smooth and emulsified. Add the cherry tomatoes, strawberries and basil to the dressing; mix well to coat. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to let the flavors marry.
• Drain the burrata and dry carefully. Using a fork, tear the burrata into small pieces. Place some burrata on each toast, being sure to get a little of the creamy center on each piece. Top with some of the tomato-strawberry mixture and drizzle with a touch of dressing.

Steps:

• Combine bread crumbs, crushed tortilla chips, paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne, and thyme in a shallow dish or bowl. Place flour in another shallow dish or bowl and eggs in a third. Dredge shrimp, 1 at a time, in the flour, then eggs, and then the bread crumb mixture.
• Heat canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, gently add shrimp and cook until golden brown, turning once, about 1 minute per side. Serve immediately with Avocado Salsa.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add jalapenos and serranos and fry over medium heat until tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Add fried peppers to a food processor or blender, along with the avocados and garlic. Blend until smooth. Add cilantro, lime juice, chicken stock, onion powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Blend until smooth. Serve with Santa Rita Shrimp.
