Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 corn tostada shells
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt to taste
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Additional fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chipotle sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the shrimp are well-coated. Let the mixture marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
On each tostada shell, layer the cooked chipotle shrimp, followed by diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and jalapeño if using.
Generously drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the top of each assembled tostada. Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves for garnish.
