These shrimp tostadas aka tostadas de camaron are made with shrimp, guacamole, and sauteed veggies. They’re full of flavor and super easy to make!
I love serving them with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side.
If you want a quick and easy meal, you need to give these a try! They’re so easy to put together and are incredibly flavorful.
INGREDIENT NOTES
See the recipe card below for ingredient quantities and complete instructions.
- Tostadas – I used store-bought tostadas but you can make your own by baking corn tortillas in the oven until they’re nice and crispy.
- Shrimp – Raw shrimp is best for this recipe, avoid cooked shrimp.
- Avocados – You’ll need two ripe hass avocados to make the guacamole. If you’re not a fan of guacamole, simply slice or dice the avocado.
- Sauce – I love serving these shrimp tostadas with hot sauce and chipotle ranch. But feel free to serve it with your favorite sauce!
TOP TIPS
- I highly recommend chopping the veggies and preparing the guacamole before cooking the shrimp.
- For best results, serve with hot sauce and lime wedges.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp! I used medium-sized shrimp, and they took about 2 minutes to cook.
- Want to make these in under 10 minutes? Feel free to use store-bought guacamole and store-bought pico de Gallo instead.
STORAGE
If you have any guacamole or shrimp leftover, place it in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
