Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 corn tortillas
3 avocados
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream and diced tomato, for topping

Steps:

  • Toast the chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning often, until they soften slightly, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with hot water; let sit 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the chiles and 3 tablespoons of the soaking water to a blender. 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.

SHRIMP KABOBS WITH TOMATILLO-AVOCADO SALSA RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Shrimp Kabobs with Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by SippitySup

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 quart cool water
24 large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/4 cup olive oil
3 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoon dry white wine
4 oz fresh tomatillos, husked, washed, and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon serrano chile, seeded and coarsely chopped, or to taste
1 large ripe, creamy avocado, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon green onion, chopped
4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoon cilantro, coarsely chopped
lemon slices as needed

Steps:

  • For the brine: Stir the kosher salt, brown sugar into 1-quart cool water until dissolved. Add the shrimp and refrigerate at least 15 minutes or up to one hour. For the marinade: Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, flat leaf parsley, red pepper flakes, and dry white wine in a small bowl and set aside. Remove the shrimp from the brine. Wash and dry thoroughly. Toss them with the marinade, coat and marinate for 1-hour, covered in the refrigerator. For the salsa: In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, remaining teaspoon garlic, and serrano chile; pulse to finely chop. Add the avocado and green onion and pulse til just blended. The finished salsa should have some texture. Place the salsa in a small bowl and toss with the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Store, covered and refrigerated up to 2 hours. Toss with cilantro just before serving. To grill the shrimp: Light a charcoal fire. Drain the shrimp from the marinade. Place the 6 shrimp on a work surface in front of you alternating the shrimp left and right, tucking them into themselves, following their natural shape. Secure the shrimp with 2 skewers so that they grill evenly and turn over easily. Grill the shrimp over medium-hot coals until they are barely cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes total, turning halfway through. Grill the lemon slices until softened and well marked by the grill. Place the shrimp and lemon slices on plates and top with the salsa. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tostadas.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Make sure the avocado tomatillo salsa is well-seasoned. This salsa is the perfect topping for the tostadas, so make sure it has a good balance of flavors.
  • Assemble the tostadas just before serving. This will help to keep them crispy.

Conclusion:

With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your tostadas are perfect every time.
