Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with the chipotle paste until evenly coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the corn tortillas one at a time until crispy and golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and lime juice to make the lime crema. Set aside.
Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a thin layer of lime crema onto each crispy tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cooked shrimp, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas!
