Drescription

Grilling gives these shrimp tostadas a boost of smoky flavor. Skewering the shrimp prevents them from falling through the grates while getting even char on each side. If you have a grill basket, you can throw them in that instead; just make sure to get them into a single layer so they don't steam.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp (21-25 count)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons chile-lime seasoning, such as tajín
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • crumbled cotija cheese & sour cream for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon oil, chile-lime seasoning and garlic powder in a large bowl. Thread onto four 12-inch metal skewers. Brush both sides of each tortilla with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  3. Grill the shrimp until lightly browned and cooked through, flipping once, about 4 minutes. Grill the tortillas until lightly charred and crispy, flipping once, about 2 minutes.
  4. Top the tortillas with cabbage, guacamole, jalapeño and the grilled shrimp. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with cotija and sour cream, if desired.
