Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tostadas
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Fresh avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Cotija cheese (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocados and mash one of them into a creamy spread if desired, leaving the second sliced for garnish. Chop the cilantro, slice the red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
If the tostadas are not pre-crisped, lightly bake them in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Assemble the tostadas by spreading mashed avocado or sour cream onto the base of each tostada. Top with cooked shrimp, then layer with red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and slices of avocado.
Sprinkle with Cotija cheese if desired, and drizzle with hot sauce or additional lime juice for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Scrumptious Shrimp Tostadas!
