OMG Chili-Lime Shrimp Tostadas
This recipe is gorgeous and delicious, plus it is super easy to make. You can eat this in tostada or taco format as well. This recipe is based on a recipe from Diane Morrisey's Instagram, which I am obsessed with. You could also change this recipe up and use steak or shredded chicken instead of shrimp.
Ingredients:
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
3 limes
1 lb. peeled shrimp
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
3 limes
1 lb. peeled shrimp
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
6 oz softened cream cheese
1 medium avocado
Thin corn tortillas
Olive oil
salt
1/4 cup queso fresco (this is a Mexican cheese that you can find in refrigerated cheese section)
6 oz softened cream cheese
1 medium avocado
Thin corn tortillas
Olive oil
salt
1/4 cup queso fresco (this is a Mexican cheese that you can find in refrigerated cheese section)
Preparation:
Slice the red onions and mix with the juice of the 2 limes. Refrigerate.
Using a hand mixer, mix softened cream cheese and avocado, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Place shrimp in a bowl and add in garlic, chili powder, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and juice of 1 lime.
Cook shrimp in a skillet for about 4 minutes until pink.
Use another skillet to crisp up some of the corn tortillas. (see recipe for "fried" tortillas to see how I do this)
Assemble each tostada by spreading avocado crema on the crisp tortilla, add 2-3 shrimp, top with a few red onions, and crumble some of the queso fresco on top. PERFECTION!
