Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring citrus-marinated shrimp served on crispy tostadas with fresh veggies and avocado, perfect for a light and zesty meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (60 ml)
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
  • A handful of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 4–5 radishes, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tostadas

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 pound of raw shrimp under cold water, peel and devein if needed. Cut shrimp into bite-sized pieces about 1/2 inch.
  2. Place shrimp in a medium bowl and pour over 1/2 cup fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice. Mix gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes until shrimp turn opaque and slightly firm but not rubbery.
  3. While shrimp marinates, finely dice 1 small red onion, 1 medium tomato (seeded), and mince 1 small jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). Thinly slice 4-5 radishes and chop a handful of fresh cilantro.
  4. Drain shrimp slightly if there’s excess juice. Add the chopped onion, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro to the shrimp. Gently fold in 1 diced ripe avocado. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss lightly to combine.
  5. Arrange 8 corn tostadas on serving plates. If tostadas have softened, heat briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute per side to restore crispness.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of shrimp ceviche onto each tostada. Top with thin radish slices. Optionally add extra cilantro leaves or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Marinate shrimp for 20-25 minutes to avoid toughness. Assemble tostadas just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for best flavor. Optionally reserve some marinade to drizzle on top. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free corn tostadas or plantain/cassava chips. Adjust jalapeño for heat preference.
