A quick and easy shrimp ceviche tostadas recipe featuring a tangy, sweet, and spicy mango habanero salsa that brightens any meal with fresh flavors and a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium or large size)
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 medium diced tomato
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup diced mango
  • 1 small habanero pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 crunchy corn tostada shells

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 1 pound of raw shrimp. Cut into bite-sized pieces (about ½ to ¾ inch). Place in a non-reactive bowl.
  2. Pour 1 cup fresh lime juice over the shrimp. Stir gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until shrimp turns opaque and ‘cooked’ by the acidity. Avoid over-marinating to prevent toughness.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup diced mango, 1 finely chopped small habanero (deseeded if less heat desired), 1 minced garlic clove, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir to mix flavors.
  4. Drain about half the lime juice from the shrimp (reserve some for extra tang if desired). Add ½ cup finely diced red onion, 1 medium diced tomato, and ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Fold the mango habanero salsa into the shrimp ceviche mixture. Taste and adjust salt or lime if needed. Let sit 5 minutes to marry flavors.
  6. Just before serving, gently fold in 1 diced ripe avocado to add creaminess and cool the heat.
  7. If using store-bought tostadas, warm them slightly in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to crisp. For homemade, bake corn tortillas on a wire rack for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  8. Spoon a generous amount of shrimp ceviche onto each tostada shell. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves or thinly sliced radishes if desired.
  9. Serve immediately to maintain crunch and freshness.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp for more than 30 minutes to avoid toughness. Add avocado last to prevent mushiness. For milder salsa, remove habanero seeds or substitute with serrano or jalapeño peppers. Homemade tostadas baked on a wire rack provide better crunch and less oiliness. Serve immediately to keep tostadas crisp. Leftover ceviche should be stored separately from tostadas and consumed within 24 hours.
