Arrange the bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly brush with vegetable oil.

Toast in an oven preheated to 390°F for 5–7 minutes, until lightly golden. The exact time will depend on your oven. Alternatively, toast the bread on both sides in a dry frying pan.

Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the shrimp on both sides until lightly browned and cooked through.
Step 8
Peel and finely chop the garlic.
Step 9
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel and slice the flesh.
Step 10
Place the avocado, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice in a blender. Season with salt and blend until smooth, thick and creamy. Add other spices to taste if desired.
Step 11
Spread the avocado mixture over the toasted baguette slices.
