Why Make This Recipe

Shrimp Guacamole Tostadas are a delightful and easy dish perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, fresh, and full of flavor, making them a satisfying meal or snack. The combination of juicy shrimp, creamy guacamole, and crunchy tortillas creates a harmony of textures and tastes. Plus, they are quick to prepare, which is a bonus for those with a busy lifestyle.

How to Make Shrimp Guacamole Tostadas

Ingredients:

1 pound raw frozen shrimp (thawed and peeled (tail-off))
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 small corn tortillas
Avocado spray oil (for the tortillas)
1/4 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced or diced)
1/4 medium red onion (thinly sliced or diced)
1/2 Tablespoon avocado oil
1 cup guacamole
Freshly chopped cilantro (to taste)
Hot honey drizzle (to taste)
Freshly squeezed lime juice (to taste)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove any ice.
In a large bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Toss the shrimp in the spice mixture to coat them evenly. Set aside.
Spray or brush each side of the corn tortillas with avocado oil, then lay them flat on a baking sheet.
Bake the tortillas for about 4-5 minutes, flip them, and bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.
Meanwhile, chop the red onion and red bell pepper.
When the tortillas are done, remove them from the oven and spread the chopped veggies on one half of the hot baking pan. Place the seasoned shrimp on the other half in a single layer.
Mix the avocado oil into the veggies, then bake the veggies and shrimp for about 14-15 minutes.
To serve, top each tostada with guacamole, cooked shrimp, and veggies. Add freshly chopped cilantro, a drizzle of hot honey, and a squeeze of lime juice.

How to Serve Shrimp Guacamole Tostadas

Serve the Shrimp Guacamole Tostadas immediately after preparing them. They taste best when they are warm and crispy. You can place them on a large platter for everyone to share or serve them individually for a more personal touch. Consider offering extra guacamole and lime wedges on the side to enhance the flavors.

How to Store Shrimp Guacamole Tostadas

If you have leftovers, store the components separately. Keep the cooked shrimp and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The tortillas can become soggy, so store them in a separate area. For the guacamole, make sure it’s covered tightly to prevent browning. Reheat the shrimp and veggies before assembling again for the best taste.

Tips to Make Shrimp Guacamole Tostadas

Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed for even cooking.
Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more chili powder.
Use a mix of different peppers for added flavor and color.
For extra crunch, consider adding toppings like fresh radishes or jalapeños.

Variation

You can create variations of this dish by swapping shrimp for other proteins like chicken or beans for a vegetarian twist. Alternatively, experiment by adding different toppings, such as diced tomatoes, corn, or queso fresco.
