1/4 cup sour cream

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 lime, juiced (plus lime wedges for serving)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 corn tostada shells

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.

Make the Creamy Avocado Sauce: In a separate bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it until smooth. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cook the Shrimp: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tostadas: On each corn tostada shell, spread a generous layer of the creamy avocado sauce. Top with cooked shrimp, shredded red cabbage, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Serve: Drizzle with extra lime juice for a zesty kick. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
