Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
Chipotle Slaw:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) package shredded cabbage
Shrimp:
1 cup water
1 teaspoon bouillon (such as Better Than Bouillon Sofrito Base®)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 raw shrimp (frozen or fresh), peeled and deveined
Tostadas:
1 (15 ounce) can refried black beans
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
8 (6-inch) tostada shells
4 ounces queso fresco, crumbled
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup Mexican-style crema
8 lime slices
Directions
Combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, honey, avocado oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, and salt to taste for the slaw in a large bowl. Stir until well blended. Add shredded cabbage and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Combine water, sofrito base, and cayenne pepper in a large skillet for the slaw. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add shrimp to the boiling liquid, bring back to a boil, and cook until shrimp turn white and peachy-pink, and make a “C” shape, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove shrimp from the cooking liquid immediately.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
Stir refried beans, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and garlic granules together in a bowl for the tostadas. Spread each tostada shell with bean mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons per tostada, or to taste. Sprinkle queso fresco crumbles evenly on each tostada. Place tostadas on the prepared baking tray in a single layer.
Broil under the preheated broiler until cheese begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch that tostada shells do not burn.
Place about 1/2 cup of the prepared slaw on each tostada. Top with chopped cilantro to taste. Add three shrimp per tostada, and drizzle crema over all. Serve with lime slices, if desired.
