Ingredients

  • 12 4.5 inch tortillas
  • 16oz medium sized frozen raw deveined and peeled shrimp, thawed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups rainbow vegetable slaw
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 3/4 cup salsa verde
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 avocado mashed with 1 tsp salt + 1 tbsp lime juice
  • optional: sliced jalapeno & cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Line tortillas on two baking sheets (or do one at a time). Bake for 8 minutes, then flip and bake for another 8 minutes. Remove once tortillas are crispy. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together thawed shrimp with paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add shrimp and cook about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Set aside.
  5. In another bowl, mix together slaw and corn kernels. In a small bowl, mix together mayo, salsa verde, and salt. Pour mayo mixture over slaw and toss until completely coated, saving a little for the top of the tostadas!
  6. Mash 1 avocado with salt and lime. Now time for assembly!
  7. To each tortilla, add some slaw. Add about 3 shrimp to each tostada, then top with a dollop of avocado mash. Add sliced jalapeno and cilantro on top if desired, and then drizzle with leftover mayo salsa verde sauce.
