Time 40m

Yield 6 tostadas

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lbs shrimp, shelled, deveined, rinsed, and drained
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium poblano pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
1 medium bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 medium lime, cut into wedges
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas
cooking spray
1 cup lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup guacamole
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with foil. Lay tortillas on sheet and spray with cooking spray. Turn over and spray other side. When oven is heated, bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. They may still appear floppy, but will become crispy as they cool. Remove and place on plate covered with paper towels. Blot with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cumin, garlic powder, pepper, salt, chili powder, brown sugar, and oregano. Put the olive oil in a ziptop bag and mix in all but 1 tablespoon of the spice mix. Add the garlic and shrimp; massage to coat. Set aside.
  • Heat a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat, and, when hot, coat with cooking spray. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and fragrant and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the chile and bell pepper and continue to sauté for 2 minutes. Add the remaining spice mixture and sauté until the onion and chiles are tender but not mushy, another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the skillet to medium high heat and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the sautéed vegetables; toss to combine and reheat.
  • Spread a small amount of guacamole on tostada. Spread a small amount of sour cream over guacamole, then add some lettuce. Add some sauteed vegetables and top with shrimp. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  • Serve with additional sour cream and guacamole.

Yield Makes 54

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 5- to 6-inch corn tortillas, each cut into 6 wedges
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
3 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/2 teaspoons minced seeded serrano or jalapeño chili

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place tortilla wedges in single layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake until crisp, turning once, about 30 minutes. Cool on baking sheet.
  • Spray small baking dish with oil spray. Add garlic; cover with foil. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly. Peel garlic; mash in small bowl.
  • Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Grind in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle. Add to garlic.
  • Bring large pot of water to boil. Add shrimp and lime peel and cook until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes. Drain shrimp and lime peel in fine strainer. Cool. Coarsely chop shrimp. Transfer shrimp and lime peel to bowl.
  • (Tortillas, garlic mixture and shrimp can be made 1 day ahead. Store tortillas in airtight containers at room temperature. Chill garlic mixture and shrimp separately.)
  • Add lime juice, yogurt, chopped cilantro, chili and garlic mixture to shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon atop tortilla chips and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tostadas. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly sweet smell. You can also use frozen shrimp, but make sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery, so be careful not to overcook them. The best way to cook shrimp is to sauté them in a hot pan with a little bit of oil until they are pink and opaque.
  • Make your own tortillas: Fresh, homemade tortillas are always better than store-bought tortillas. If you have the time, making your own tortillas is a great way to elevate your tostadas.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for tostadas. Some popular options include avocado, salsa, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. You can also get creative and add your own favorite toppings.
  • Serve the tostadas immediately: Tostadas are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Shrimp tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make shrimp tostadas that are sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp tostadas a try. You won't be disappointed!
