These delightful Mexican-inspired appetizers combine zesty lime shrimp with creamy avocados and crispy tortilla shells, making them perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Lime juice
1 teaspoon Chili powder
Salt to taste
6-8 Tortillas (for tostadas)
2 large Avocado, sliced
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
1 medium Tomato, diced
1/4 cup Red onion, diced
Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, and salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque.
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble the tostadas, layer cooked shrimp on each crispy tortilla shell. Top with sliced avocado, diced tomato, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
