These Shrimp Tostadas are the kind of meal that tastes like it came from a restaurant but is simple enough to make at home in less than 30 minutes. The shrimp are coated in a smoky, spicy blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, then cooked quickly in a hot skillet until tender.
The base is a simple guacamole made with ripe avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. It adds creaminess and helps hold the shrimp and toppings in place on the tostada shells. A quick sauce made with mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, garlic powder, and lime juice brings everything together with a tangy, spicy finish.
This recipe is especially good when you are craving an easy dinner with plenty of flavor. It is fresh, crisp, creamy, spicy, and customizable. Add shredded cabbage for crunch, diced tomatoes for freshness, queso fresco or cotija for a salty bite, and sliced jalapenos if you like extra heat.
