⏱️ Cooking Time: 10 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with lime juice and chili powder. Stir occasionally and cook until the shrimp are opaque and pink, about 3-4 minutes. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
  2. 2.
    While the shrimp are cooking, place the corn tortilla on a separate skillet or directly on a gas flame to char slightly. Cook until crispy and lightly browned on both sides, which should take about 1-2 minutes per side. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  3. 3.
    Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside. Arrange the avocado slices evenly on the crispy tortilla to create a base layer. This will add a creamy texture to your tostada.
  4. 4.
    Place the cooked shrimp on top of the avocado layer. Ensure they are spread out evenly for the best taste and texture in each bite.
  5. 5.
    For finishing touches, drizzle any remaining lime juice from the pan over the shrimp. This will enhance the flavors and add a vibrant kick. Serve immediately while the tortilla is still crisp and enjoy the fresh and bold flavors.
