Shrimp Tostadas with Chipotle Peach Salsa- This is a delicious tostada recipe with sautéed shrimp, black beans and a sweet and spicy peach salsa. Tostadas are great for a weeknight meal- kids love them, they’re light but full of flavor, and you can combine all kinds of ingredients to make them (ie. great way to clean out the fridge!).
The ingredient list may look long, and it doesn’t include the Peach Salsa recipe (I’ve included a link to that recipe) but most of the ingredients are spices. If you have your spices organized (says the one who spent 10 minutes looking for the oregano :() you can make it in a snap. The shrimp, salsa, and even the beans can easily be made a day in advance.
I love the contrast of textures and flavors in this dish. The tortilla bakes up wonderfully crispy and the combination of sweet and spicy flavors is just right.
Shrimp Tostadas Recipe Tips:
If you wanted to make this recipe super quick and easy, you could always use a jarred salsa. But making fresh salsa is definitely worth the effort.
I love black beans, but a can of refried beans could also be subbed.
I always try to use fresh shrimp, but frozen shrimp can be used instead. Just be sure to fully thaw them first.
Don’t forget the Chipotle Peach Salsa. It has a wonderful sweet, smoky and spicy flavor.
