Description
A healthy, high-protein shrimp tostada featuring crispy corn tortillas topped with seasoned roasted shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and creamy guacamole, garnished with cilantro, hot honey, and lime juice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, thawed, peeled, and 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 black pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Avocado spray oil (or regular avocado oil)
- 1/4 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced or diced
- 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced or diced
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil (for roasting vegetables)
- 1 cup homemade or store-bought guacamole
- Freshly chopped cilantro, to taste
- Hot honey drizzle, to taste (optional)
- Freshly squeezed lime juice, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Season the shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the thawed shrimp and toss until each piece is evenly coated. Set aside.
- Crisp the tortillas: Spray both sides of each corn tortilla generously with avocado oil spray (or brush lightly with avocado oil). Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Roast shrimp and vegetables: Once the tortillas are done, set them aside. On the same baking sheet, spread the sliced red bell pepper and red onion on one half. Add the seasoned shrimp to the other half, spreading into a single layer. Drizzle the vegetables with 1/2 tablespoon of avocado oil and toss lightly. Roast the shrimp and vegetables for 10-14 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Assemble the tostadas: Spread a layer of guacamole evenly over each crispy corn tostada shell. Top with the cooked shrimp and roasted vegetables.
- Finish and serve: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, a drizzle of hot honey (if using), and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately for a crunchy and flavorful meal.
