Shrimp Tostadas with Avocado and Slaw – These shrimp tostadas are quick, easy to make and present well. You can make them as mild or as spicy as you like and the shrimp can be easily substituted. – Chef Rob Thomas INGREDIENTS
  • 8 6″ corn tortillas
  • 3 ripe avocados, pulp scooped out
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced small
  • 6 Tbsp. lime juice, divided
  • 3 Tbsp. cilantro, freshly chopped

  • 1-2 tsp ancho chile powder
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

TORTILLAS INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray 2 baking sheets with canola oil spray and arrange 4 tortillas on each. Spray tortillas with more oil, then bake until golden brown and crisp, (approximately 8 minutes). If you have a deep fryer; fry tortillas until crispy, season with salt immediately. AVOCADOS INSTRUCTIONS In a medium bowl, mash together avocados, red onion, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, cilantro. Season with salt. RED CABBAGE SLAW In a small bowl, toss cabbage and carrot with the remaining 3 Tbsp. lime juice and 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. SHRIMP INSTRUCTIONS In a large bowl, whisk together cumin, chile powder, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, and salt. Add shrimp and toss lightly to coat, then season generously with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side, or until bright pink and cooked through.
