These Grilled Shrimp Tostadas are a fresh and flavorful meal, topped with creamy guacamole and zesty pico de gallo. Here’s how to prepare them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with chili powder, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Guacamole: Mash the avocado in a bowl, then mix in lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Make the Pico de Gallo: In another bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Add a pinch of salt and mix well.
- Toast the Tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Tostadas: Spread a generous layer of guacamole on each tortilla. Top with grilled shrimp and a scoop of pico de gallo.
- Serve: Enjoy the tostadas immediately, with lime wedges on the side if desired.
Notes:
- Feel free to add extra toppings like shredded lettuce or cheese for additional flavor.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the tortillas instead of toasting them.
Enjoy your vibrant and tasty tostadas!
