Mexican Shrimp Tostadas (Tostadas de Camaron) image

These tostadas are so crispy and good. They are made with chipotle grilled shrimp and spicy citrusy cole slaw with just a hint of heat. The shrimp are grilled only for a a few minutes (four minutes)so they are plump and juicy. We can never get enough of these. They are delicious. Enjoy

I would not recommend this recipe. The tostadas were soggy and the shrimp were tasteless.

These tostadas were a waste of time and ingredients. They were bland and the shrimp were rubbery.

I followed the recipe, but my tostadas didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I think I might have used too much oil.

These tostadas were a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I'll use less chili powder.
