Dinner Tonight: Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas Recipe
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- 4 corn tortillas
- 1 pound shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 4 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 avocado, pit removed and thinly sliced
- 2 medium radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges
- Salt
- First, fry the tortillas. Pour 1/4 inch of oil into a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium. When hot, add a tortilla and cook for 1-2 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds, or until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the other three tortillas.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix the shrimp with the 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil, the chipotle chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Toss the shrimp on the grill pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until orange and cooked through. Smaller sized shrimp may only take a 1 minute per side.
- Combine the cabbage, tomato, scallions, sour cream, and lime juice in a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, and toss together.
- Top each of the fried tortillas with some of the cabbage slaw, chipotle shrimp, sliced avocado, radishes, and cilantro. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
