MEXICAN SHRIMP TOSTADAS (TOSTADAS DE CAMARON)



Mexican Shrimp Tostadas (Tostadas de Camaron) image

These tostadas are so crispy and good. They are made with chipotle grilled shrimp and spicy citrusy cole slaw with just a hint of heat. The shrimp are grilled only for a a few minutes (four minutes)so they are plump and juicy. We can never get enough of these. They are delicious. Enjoy

This is one of my favorite Mexican shrimp meals to make. Everyone gobbles it up. Best served with rice, about 3 to 4 cups cooked. I like to sprinkle mine with Cojita cheese and cilantro also.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)



Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) image

I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!
