Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs frozen shrimp I cooked/peeled them the night before.
  • 1 bag tostadas
  • sour cream
  • 1/2 large onion
  • cilantro
  • 1 avocado
  • salsa my favorite is this Valentina Mexican hot sauce
  • 2 limes
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook and peel your shrimp. Cut into small pieces and then toss them into a large mixing bowl. (You can use precooked shrimp as well.)
  • Chop up the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, in addition to the avocado. Toss everything into the bowl as well.
  • Squeeze the lime(s) into your bowl.
  • Season with pepper and mix all the ingredients! (We're saving the avocado for last so it doesn't brown too soon.)
  • Place the bowl in the fridge to chill for about 45 min.
  • Once chilled, chop your avocado, add it in, and season with salt.
  • Grab your tostadas and spread some sour cream on them.
  • Top your tostadas with the mixed ingredients you just made.
  • Finally, drizzle each tostada with the hot sauce and enjoy! 

Notes

  • You can use whole shrimp instead of chopping it up.
  • No shrimp? You can use crab or ground meat instead.
  • No tostadas? Use tortilla chips instead.
  • No sour cream or want to add something more? You can use guacamole or even a refried beans as well.
