Description
Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas are a light, refreshing, no-cook Mexican-inspired dish featuring shrimp marinated in fresh lime juice, mixed with crisp vegetables, and served on crispy tostada shells with creamy avocado slices.
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled, tails removed, diced
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 6 limes)
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and diced (preferably English cucumber)
- 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, diced
- 2 roma tomatoes, seeds removed, diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1 California avocado, sliced
- 8 tostada shells
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine diced raw shrimp and lime juice, ensuring the shrimp is fully submerged. Let sit for 15 minutes or until shrimp turns opaque and is no longer grey.
- Drain the shrimp and discard the lime juice. Do not rinse the shrimp.
- In a separate large bowl, mix red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, tomato, and cilantro. Add the shrimp and mayonnaise, stirring until well combined.
- Spoon the ceviche mixture onto tostada shells and top with avocado slices.
- Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the shrimp is fully covered in lime juice to ensure even ‘cooking.’
- Use ripe, creamy avocado for the best flavor contrast.
- Serve immediately to keep tostada shells crispy.
- Optional: Add a splash of hot sauce for extra heat.
