Shrimp Tostadas
Shrimp tostadas piled with creamy avocado, quick-seasoned shrimp, and a sweet mango pico de gallo. Ready in about 20 minutes.
Servings: 8 tostadas
Ingredients
For the shrimp
- 1 pound medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tail-off
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the mango pico de gallo
- 1 ½ cups diced mango (about 2 med-large mangoes)
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
- ½ medium white onion, diced
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon agave or honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the tostadas
- 8 tostada shells
- 3 small avocados, smashed
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Lime wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Add to a medium bowl and toss with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, until plump and pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the mango pico de gallo. Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
- Assemble the tostadas. Spread about 2 tablespoons of smashed avocado on each tostada shell. Add the shrimp and top with some mango pico de gallo serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Avocado swap: Smashed black beans or a thin layer of Mexican crema both work in place of avocado.
- To store: Keep the cooked shrimp and mango pico in separate containers in the fridge up to 4 days. Press plastic wrap onto leftover smashed avocado to keep it from browning. Store extra plain shells in a sealed bag in a cool, dry place.
