About this Recipe

This recipe packs a punch of flavor and texture with minimal prep. A crunchy tostada makes the base of this dish, which comes together with a fresh slaw, and chili lime marinated shrimp. Chef Annie likes to cut the shrimp into bite size pieces before cooking to make assembly a breeze. As a note, this recipe uses four premade tostadas - you can make tostadas via the Brava Tostada recipe or use store-bought tostadas as a shortcut before you cook the shrimp.
