ingredients

Shrimp
  • 20 large shrimp thawed, shells removed and cleaned
  • 1 garlic clove diced
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 Tbsp agave
Avocado Crema
  • 1 avocado pitted and removed from peel
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 tsp salt + extra
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Flour or corn tortillas cut into 20 1 to 1 1/2-inch rounds (just make sure they are bigger than the shrimp, I used about 4 large tortillas)

instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, Sriracha, 1 Tbsp lime juice and agave. Stir to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Allow the shrimp to marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Pour enough oil in a skillet to reach approximately 1/2-inch to 1-inch deep. Heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the tortilla rounds in batches of 5 or so, depending on the size of your pan. Make sure you don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry the rounds for approximately 15 to 20 seconds per side, until golden. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine avocado, sour cream, juice of 1/2 lime, cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and cook until pink and cooked through, approximately 30 seconds per side.
  • To assemble the mini tostadas, spread each round with approximately 1 to 2 tsp of avocado crema. Top each with one cooked shrimp and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve warm.
