Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, the garlic, oregano, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon each of the cayenne and salt; puree until almost smooth.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm, plump, and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque, but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Make the avocado salsa ahead of time: The avocado salsa can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Toast the tortillas: Toasting the tortillas will give them a nice crispy texture and help them hold up to the toppings.
- Assemble the tostadas just before serving: This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
Shrimp tostadas with avocado salsa are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual meal. The combination of shrimp, avocado salsa, and crispy tortillas is irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can make shrimp tostadas that are sure to impress your friends and family.
