Flambeed Shrimp Chipotle Tostadas Recipes

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TOSTADAS

Steps:

• In a medium, deep skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil until hot.
• Fry one tortilla at a time over moderately high heat until lightly golden on both sides, about 2 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt(while they are still hot!)
• Preheat a grill pan.
• In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and the chipotle chile powder; season the shrimp with salt.
• Grill the shrimp over moderately high heat, turning once, until they are browned in spots and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage with the tomato, scallions, sour cream and lime juice and season with salt.
• Set the tortillas on plates and top with the cabbage slaw, chipotle shrimp, avocado, radishes and cilantro.
• Serve with lime wedges.

SLOW-COOKER BRISKET TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Prepare the brisket: Whisk the lime juice, Maggi seasoning, 2 tablespoons water, half of the garlic and 1 serrano in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly. Place the brisket pieces in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade; turn the meat to coat. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or preferably overnight.
• Bring the meat to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Remove from the bag and discard the marinade.
• Pour the vegetable oil into the bottom of a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker. Add the onion, bell pepper, beef broth, tomatoes (and their juices), oregano, the remaining garlic and 2 serranos, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix well, then nestle the meat in the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook on high until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork, about 8 hours.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a cutting board and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Shred the meat into pieces. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker, stir to combine and let stand until the meat is hot, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Assemble the tostadas: Spread about 1/3 cup of the warm meat on each tostada shell. Top with lettuce, avocado, salsa and queso fresco. Serve with crema and lime wedges.

TEQUILA-FLAMED SHRIMP TOSTADAS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mash the avocado, pineapple, beans, scallions and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet until very hot.
• Add the oil and heat until shimmering.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add to the skillet along with the garlic and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the shrimp are almost cooked through, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add the tequila.
• Tilt the pan slightly over the burner to ignite the tequila and cook until the flames subside. (Alternatively, remove the pan from the heat and ignite with a match, then return to the heat.)
• Stir in the chipotle, butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice, swirling until the butter is melted and the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes longer; season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the avocado mixture onto the tortilla chips and top with the shrimp.
• Drizzle some of the tequila sauce on top and serve right away.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Place shrimp in resealable food-storage plastic bag, and squeeze the juice of half the lemon into the bag. Add lemon peel, canola oil, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the cilantro. Seal bag, and gently coat shrimp. Place bag on plate in refrigerator to marinate, at least 10 minutes but no longer than 20.
• Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high. While shrimp marinates and grill heats, mix remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and onion in small bowl. In another small bowl, mix cocktail sauce, salsa and juice of remaining lemon. Add half of the cilantro mixture to the cocktail sauce mixture. Set aside.
• Place shrimp on grill. Cover and cook about 2 minutes on each side or until just done and shrimp has turned pink and opaque throughout. Remove shrimp to a bowl until cool enough to handle. If there are tails on the shrimp, remove them, and chop the shrimp into bite-size pieces. Add chopped shrimp to cocktail sauce mixture, and stir to coat. Spoon onto tostada shells, and top with remaining cilantro mixture and whatever garnishes you like.

MEXICAN SHRIMP CEVICHE TOSTADA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Boil about 3 quarts of water in a deep cooking pan. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat and put in the shrimp to cook for about 2-3 minutes until they look pink. Turn off the stove, drain the shrimp with a colander on the kitchen sink and set aside to cool off.
• Make the lemon marinade by mixing lemon juice with diced onions and garlic. Sprinkle it with salt & pepper to taste and set aside.
• Cut the shrimp in half and add to a deep large bowl. With this, mix marinade, tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Add Clamato juice and diced avocados. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate for ~1 hour.
• To serve, plate fresh tostada shells and top with marinated ceviche mix. Sprinkle with hot sauce of choice if desired.
