Ingredients
  

For the shrimp

  • 2 lbs raw shrimp deveined & tails removed
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (or oil of choice)
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the tostadas

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 (15oz) cans refried black beans
  • 2 large avocados seeded & chopped
  • 2 roma tomatoes seeded & chopped
  • pinch of salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the shrimp

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sriracha, honey, lime juice, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until fully coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes while you prep everything else.

  • Crisp the tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place the corn tortillas on a large baking sheet (no oil needed) and bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them—they can go from perfect to burnt quickly.

  • Cook the shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (cast iron works great here). Add about 1 tablespoon of oil, then cook the shrimp for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    They’re done when they’re opaque with a slight char on the edges—don’t overcook or they’ll get rubbery.

  • Warm the beans

    In a saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the refried black beans with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes until heated through.

  • Make the simple guac

    In a bowl, combine the chopped avocado and tomato. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Gently mix, keeping it a little chunky for texture.
  • To assemble, just take a spoonful of the beans and spread them in a thin layer on a crispy tortilla. Then take about 5 pieces of the shrimp and arrange them on top of the beans. Add a big spoonful of the guac on top, and enjoy!
