Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas

Love ceviche?

Then these Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas are for you…these are just excellent!  Plain and simple!

The thing about shrimp ceviche is, it’s not just delicious and refreshing but super easy to make.  It’s just a dish that’s perfect anytime.

The succulent tender pieces of shrimp marinated in citrus juices and tossed with red onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic and cilantro is an irresistible combination.

And if you make this dish the night before and allow all the flavors to infuse, you really have a no fuss appetizer, lunch or meal to easily put together the next day.

How to Make Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas

Start with raw shrimp and let them soak in lime and lemon juice for an hour or two.  The acidity from the limes and lemons “cooks” the shrimp.  This process cooks the shrimp to perfection.

Then add the red onions, tomatoes, jalapeño, garlic and cilantro, stir all together and let it all marinate for another hour.

Prepare avocado guacamole cream.

Spread a couple of tablespoons of avocado cream on tostadas.

Top with a few tablespoons of the shrimp ceviche and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges, that’s it!
