Chili Lime Shrimp Tostadas With Avocado Crema Recipes

CHILI LIME SHRIMP WITH AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine shrimp marinate - chili powder, salt, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil.
• Pat dry defrosted shrimp and transfer to a zip lock bag or medium bowl. Add marinade to shrimp and coat evenly. Let shrimp sit in the marinade for ~30 minutes. If you are short on time, skip the marinating step.
• Heat skillet with vegetable oil (see Note 1). Once skillet is heated, add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side. Flip to the other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked (cooked shrimp typically curls up and is no longer translucent). Remove from heat promptly.
• I typically make this while the shrimp is marinating to save time.
• Bring all avocado crema ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend everything up. Add more salt if needed, and 1 tbsp of water at a time to thin it out if needed.
• Transfer to a small bowl.
• Drizzle Avocado Crema onto shrimp or serve it on the side!

Pour dressing into the cavities of avocados, distributing it equally and serve. Garnish with chives or cilantro as an optional garnish.

Stir in the espresso, chili powder, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the steak and coat evenly in the mixture. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• For the tortillas: Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with about 2-inches of oil. Heat over medium to 375 degrees F. Add the tortillas, one at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, 30 to 45 seconds per side. Use tongs to transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to high.
• Push a skewer through one side and out the other of the intact onion rings (they onions should lay flat on the grill). Brush lightly with oil and grill, flipping occasionally, until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Grill the steak, flipping once, about 5 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak into 3-inch sections, and then thinly slice each piece against the grain into strips.
• Mound some steak onto each crisp tortilla and then top with avocado, jalapeno and grilled onions. Drizzle with some of the crema and sprinkle with cilantro leaves if using. Serve with lime wedges.
