Ingredients
  

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 ripe avocados

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

8 small corn tostadas

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Crumbled queso fresco (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Season with garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Make the Guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados using a fork until creamy, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.

      Assemble the Tostadas: On each corn tostada, spread a generous amount of the guacamole. Top with a few shrimp, arranging them nicely to show off their vibrant color.

        Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color. If desired, add crumbled queso fresco for a creamy, tangy touch.

          Serve Immediately: Serve the tostadas right away while the tostadas are still crisp and the guacamole is fresh. Enjoy these delightful bites with your favorite beverage!
