Tequila Flamed Shrimp Tostadas Recipes

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.

FLAMBEED SHRIMP CHIPOTLE TOSTADAS

Steps:

• For the spicy chipotle crema: In a blender, add the sour cream, milk, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and chiles and blend until combined. You can always add more peppers for a hotter sauce. Set aside.
• For the tostadas: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and onion and saute until translucent. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp start to change to a pinkish tone, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tequila to the skillet and tilt the skillet slightly over the burner to ignite it. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the flames subside, then return it back to medium-high heat. Add the chipotle crema, bring to a simmer and cook until fully combined and warm, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the shrimp mixture among the tostadas and sprinkle with the cilantro.

TEQUILA GLAZED SHRIMP SALAD FLAMBE

Steps:

• For the gastrique: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes and jalapeno. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced and thickened to a sauce consistency. Set aside.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, combine spinach, red bell pepper and mango. Toss with vinegar and oil and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add shrimp and cook until they just begin to turn pink, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat, add tequila and return pan to heat. Carefully ignite tequila and let the flames die down.
• Add 1/2 cup of the gastrique and cook, stirring, until shrimp are glazed with the sauce and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pieces until sauce is thick and smooth.
• Serve shrimp on salad, drizzle with sauce.

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.

TEQUILA SHRIMP

Steps:

• Toss shrimp with kosher salt and 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper.
• Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté shrimp, turning, until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add tequila, then increase heat to medium-high. Tilt skillet over gas burner to ignite tequila (or ignite with a long match; use caution, as flames may shoot up high). Cook, shaking skillet gently once or twice, until flames subside. Remove from heat and stir in crema. Serve sprinkled with scallion.

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.

SHRIMP TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with foil. Lay tortillas on sheet and spray with cooking spray. Turn over and spray other side. When oven is heated, bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. They may still appear floppy, but will become crispy as they cool. Remove and place on plate covered with paper towels. Blot with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
• In a small bowl, combine the cumin, garlic powder, pepper, salt, chili powder, brown sugar, and oregano. Put the olive oil in a ziptop bag and mix in all but 1 tablespoon of the spice mix. Add the garlic and shrimp; massage to coat. Set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat, and, when hot, coat with cooking spray. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and fragrant and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the chile and bell pepper and continue to sauté for 2 minutes. Add the remaining spice mixture and sauté until the onion and chiles are tender but not mushy, another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the skillet to medium high heat and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the sautéed vegetables; toss to combine and reheat.
• Spread a small amount of guacamole on tostada. Spread a small amount of sour cream over guacamole, then add some lettuce. Add some sauteed vegetables and top with shrimp. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
• Serve with additional sour cream and guacamole.
