Crispy fried corn tortilla topped with creamy avocado, tender shrimp, fresh veggies, and a perfect balance of sweet, sour, savory, and spicy flavors. Ideal for a refreshing meal on a hot day.
Ingredients:
  • For the tostadas:
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • For the avocado spread:
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons minced jalapeno
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • For the deviled shrimp:
  • 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 or 3 limes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika, or other chili powder
  • pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions:
  • Fry tortillas in oil over medium heat until they are golden, blistered, and crispy. Lightly blot them on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt, if desired. Allow them to cool completely on a rack before storing them in an airtight container.
  • Drain excess oil from the pan, increase heat to medium-high. Quickly sear shrimp on each side for 30 seconds until almost raw inside. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Dice the shrimp, then place them in a bowl. Add lime juice, chipotle, cumin, paprika, salt, olive oil, and ketchup. Stir until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.
  • Mash ripe avocado with a pinch of salt until desired consistency. Fold in fresh lime juice, diced jalapeno, and chopped cilantro. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Take the shrimp out of the fridge and combine with red onion, tomato, cucumber, and cilantro. Season with salt to taste and adjust if necessary.
  • Assemble the tostadas by spreading crispy tortillas with avocado spread, topping with the deviled shrimp, and finishing with a drizzle of Mexican crema or thinned out sour cream.
  • Enjoy your tostadas immediately after topping them with your favorite ingredients.
