How to make Spicy Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas
- **Prepare the Shrimp:** Finely dice 1 lb of raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces. Place the diced shrimp in a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic).
- **'Cook' the Shrimp:** Pour 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice over the diced shrimp, ensuring the shrimp is fully submerged. Stir gently to coat. The acidity of the lime juice will 'cook' the shrimp, turning it opaque pink.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring once halfway through. The shrimp should be firm and opaque throughout when ready.
- **Prepare Vegetables:** While the shrimp marinates, finely dice 1/4 cup red onion, mince 1 jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), dice 1/2 cup cucumber, and dice 1 medium tomato (removing the seeds and watery pulp). Chop 1/4 cup fresh cilantro.
- **Combine Ceviche Ingredients:** Once the shrimp is 'cooked', drain any excess lime juice from the bowl, leaving about a tablespoon or two with the shrimp for flavor. Add the diced red onion, jalapeño, cucumber, tomato, and chopped cilantro to the shrimp.
- Season the mixture with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Gently stir all ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- **Assemble Tostadas:** Arrange 8 corn tostadas on a serving platter. Evenly spoon a generous portion of the shrimp ceviche onto each tostada. Be careful not to overload them to maintain the tostada's crispness.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Top each ceviche tostada with slices or diced 1 ripe avocado. For an extra kick, drizzle with your favorite hot sauce. Serve immediately, as tostadas can become soggy over time.
