    Also you can use Guacamole or Refried Beans as the base. I love the meaty and bean-y texture of Refried Beans in these Shrimp Tostadas.

    I just LOVE Shrimp Tostadas. The crispy Corn Tortillas are the best part about these Tostadas.

    The Refried Beans along with Cotija Cheese add to the taste and texture of these Shrimp Tostadas.

    Also the Avocado Salsa is just the best! It adds to the creamy texture in these Shrimp Tostadas.

    I wanted to make Shrimp Tostadas for the longest time. The first time I had it was in a food truck and since then I was smitten by its taste, texture and flavors.

    Today when I made it and had it for the first time, it felt super good! I felt so great that the taste was exactly like the ones from a food truck and every one went crazy about it.

    How to make Shrimp Tostadas

    Here is Step by Step guide on how to make the best Shrimp Tostadas with creamy Avocado Corn Salsa.

    baking shrimp

    Cook the Shrimps in the oven. Lay them in a baking dish. Drizzle Olive Oil, salt and pepper, toss until combined and roast @425F for 4-5 min. Toss after 3 min for even roasting.

    Combine Shrimps with chopped Avocados, Cucumbers, Red Onions, Jalapenos, Tomatoes, Corn. Add Smoked Paprika, Ground Cumin and Lime Juice to it and toss to combine.

    adding refried beans over tostadas

    To make homemade Toastadas, Roast Corn Tortillas in a grill or fry with a little oil or roast in the oven @400F for 5 min until they gets crispy.

    Spread Refried Beans over the Tortillas, Top with crumbled Cotija Cheese and broil in the oven for 3-4 min.

    adding salsa over tostadas

    Next, add the Avocado Shrimp Salsa over it. Top with some chopped Cilantro and serve.

    Hint: I love to broil the Tortillas after adding the Refried beans and cheese. This melts the cheese and makes these Shrimp Tostadas taste so good.

    Substitutions

    • Chicken or Ground Beef - instead of Shrimp you can use Shredded Chicken or Rotisserie Chicken or Ground beef. Cook it before use.
    • Guacamole - you can skip Refried Beans and use Guacamole
    • Queso Blanco - instead of Cotija Cheese use Queso Blanco for more flavors.
    • Vegetarian Tostadas - Make Easy Vegetarian Tostadas with vegetables of your choice. From Zucchini to Yellow Squash to Jackfruit to Mushrooms etc.

    Variations

    • Spicy - add chopped Chipotle Peppers or Cayenne Pepper to make the topping spicy.
    • Creamy - drizzle Sour Cream or Avocado Crema on top to make Creamy Tostadas.
