Top with Ceviche
Spoon a generous amount of ceviche onto each tostada, ensuring the mixture is evenly spread over the surface. The combination of the crunchy tostada and the fresh ceviche creates a satisfying texture contrast that makes each bite irresistible.
Finish and Serve
Top with Avocado and Lime
Finish off each tostada by topping it with thin slices of creamy avocado. The smoothness of the avocado complements the tangy ceviche perfectly. For an extra burst of citrus, serve with additional lime wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze more lime over their tostadas as desired.
Serve Immediately
Tostadas de Ceviche de Camarón are best enjoyed immediately, while the tostadas are still crispy and the ceviche is fresh. Serve them as a light lunch, appetizer, or as part of a larger Mexican meal. They are refreshing and packed with flavor, making them a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Tips for Perfect Tostadas de Ceviche de Camarón
Freshness Is Key
The quality of your shrimp is the most important factor in this dish. Always use fresh shrimp, as frozen shrimp can sometimes result in a less desirable texture. If you’re using frozen shrimp, ensure it’s fully thawed and drained before marinating.
Marinate Just Right
Be careful not to over-marinate the shrimp. If the shrimp are left in the lime juice too long, they can become too tough. Keep an eye on the time and check the shrimp after 15 minutes for the best texture.
Customize the Spice
If you’re a fan of heat, feel free to increase the amount of jalapeño or serrano pepper you add. You can also add hot sauce or even a dash of chili powder to spice things up further. For a milder version, skip the peppers altogether.
Make It Ahead
While ceviche is best served fresh, you can prepare the shrimp and vegetables a few hours in advance and store them separately in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, combine them, add the avocado, and spoon the ceviche onto the tostadas.
Use Homemade Tostadas for Extra Crispiness
If you prefer homemade tostadas, simply fry corn tortillas in hot oil until crispy, then drain on paper towels. You can also bake them in the oven for a healthier option, brushing with a little oil and baking at 400°F for about 10 minutes.
