Shrimp Tostadas with Pineapple Salsa

Combining all my favorite things with these shrimp tostadas with pineapple salsa! I personally think that pineapple salsa is one of the best things in the summer! It’s not only perfect to top on these shrimp tostadas but it’s great to add to salads, tacos, or just use as a dip with chips! These shrimp tostadas make for an easy weeknight dinner or summer meal for the weekend. I can bet that the whole family will love them too!

The best part about these Shrimp Tostadas are that they are SO SIMPLE. You only need a couple ingredients and you have the easiest, most flavorful weeknight dinner. And if you don’t want to make a pineapple salsa (which I highly recommend!), you can buy a pre-made salsa or mango salsa. If you don’t love shrimp, you can also make something similar and use chicken.

What you need to make Shrimp Tostadas:

• Corn tortillas
• Avocado
• Shrimp (frozen or raw)
• Avocado oil spray/olive oil spray
• Seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin, sea salt & pepper

What you need for the Pineapple Salsa:

• 1/2 cup chopped pineapple
• 1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1 juice of lime
• 1/2 chopped jalapeno
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• sea salt & pepper to taste

How to make Shrimp Tostadas:

Start by preparing the tostadas using a corn tortilla. Spray each one with a little avocado oil on both sides before placing on a silicone baking mat to place in the oven. Place in the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes until they are crispy. Make sure to flip around half way through.

Prepare shrimp by mixing all the seasonings together and fully coating the shrimp. Place on the oven to sauté until shrimp are fully cooked through. They will turn pink.

Make your pineapple salsa by mixing together all ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside.

Time to make your tostadas! Take a crispy tortilla, add mashed avocado, shrimp and desired amount of pineapple salsa on top. Garnish with red pepper flakes and cilantro. Enjoy!
