Preparing Easy Summer Shrimp Tostadas with Guac & Fresh Salsa is easy. Follow these steps to create your delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium-sized skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the raw shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
2. Make Guacamole: While the shrimp are cooking, slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, and stir in lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
3. Prepare Fresh Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Combine the ingredients to create your refreshing salsa.
4. Assemble Tostadas: Once the shrimp are cooked, it’s time to assemble the tostadas. Place each tostada shell on a plate.
5. Add Guacamole: Spread a generous amount of guacamole on each tostada. This will serve as a creamy base for the additional toppings.
6. Layer on Shrimp: Top each tostada with the sautéed shrimp, distributing them evenly.
7. Spoon Fresh Salsa: Add a spoonful of fresh salsa on top of the shrimp for a burst of flavor.
8. Optional Spice: If you like some heat, add sliced jalapeños to each tostada.
9. Garnish: Finish by providing extra lime wedges on the side for added freshness and flavor.
10. Serve: Serve immediately while the tostadas are crispy and the toppings are fresh.
These easy steps will guide you in creating a fabulous dish that embodies summer’s vibrant flavors!
