Note

For best flavor, allow the black bean spread to chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, before serving.

Ensure shrimp are fully cooked and cooled before assembling the appetizers to maintain texture and food safety.

The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat level of the spread.
