These Shrimp Tostadas with Avocado are one of my favorite dinners when I want something fresh, fast, and full of flavor. Crispy tostadas are piled high with juicy shrimp, creamy avocado, and all the fresh toppings that make every bite feel a little like a vacation. Best of all, they're easy enough for busy weeknights but fun enough to serve when friends come over.

TIP: For perfectly crispy tostadas, make sure to use 100% corn tortillas. A corn + wheat flour blend won't give you the perfect crisp result!
Ingredients
- Shrimp - Use fresh or frozen shrimp. If frozen, thaw them in the fridge overnight.
- Tostada shells - Store-bought tostada shells stay fresh for about two weeks. If you have extras, break them into chips for dipping or make sheet pan nachos!
- Avocados - You can mash them and use just salt + black pepper, or add extras like in this recipe. If you're preparing for a party, make a double batch of guacamole or jalapeno avocado crema instead (use leftovers for dips).
- Vegetables - Use fresh veggies for crunch. Red onion adds bite, tomatoes bring juiciness, and jalapeños add a mild kick. Cilantro adds a bright, fresh flavor.
- Lime - Lime is essential for tostadas and tacos! Squeeze extra on top before serving for a zesty touch.
- Sour cream - Optional but adds an extra layer of creaminess.
- Taco seasoning - Skip the seasonings for shrimp and make a batch of homemade taco seasoning mix so you can use it again in your next meals.
