Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  4. In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous layer of the avocado smash on each tostada shell.
  6. Top the avocado with grilled shrimp, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
