It’s Sabroso Saturday (Translation: Tasty Saturday)! The day when we share recipes that have helped us stretch our budget, our imagination and our taste buds, without sacrificing our health!
********************
With February just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about Valentine’s Day. Although I don’t have a mate right now, I love helping my friends plan their romantic rendezvous and what better way to romance a man then by feeding him first!
Because the day should be spent beautifying yourself, and NOT in the kitchen, I thought this recipe that is featured on the Gortons.com website for Mini Tostadas with Guacamole and Shrimp would be perfect. They are extremely easy to make and can be done in about five minutes flat.
They’re the perfect finger food for you to create a romantic candlelight picnic. Grab a bottle of wine, spread a blanket in your living room, bedroom, or, weather permitting, outside by the water, and feed this finger food to your Sweetie. They are super easy to make and to pack if you are traveling. I’m sure after eating these sabroso tostadas, your Sweetie will be wondering how he can snatch you up before someone else finds out about your skills! 😉
Psst, they are also great for when the girls get together, as a quick meal with the family, or even for a large dinner gathering!

Mini Tostadas with Guacamole and Shrimp
4-6 Servings (12 mini tortillas)
Ingredients:
- 1 (8oz.) package Gorton’s Classic Grilled Shrimp
- 4 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (or the juice of 1/2 lime)
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 10-12 mini tortillas (about 3″diameter), toasted or round tortilla chips
Directions:
1. Prepare Gorton’s Classic Grilled Shrimp according to package instructions.
2. In a medium bowl gently mash avocado pulp with a fork.
3. Add lime juice, cilantro and salt. Fold gently.
4. To assemble tostadas, place mini tortillas on a serving platter and divide guacamole among all the tortillas.
5. Top each prepared tortilla with one prepared Gorton’s Classic Grilled Shrimp. Remove shrimp tail for easier eating.
According to the Gorton website, this recipe will also work well with Gorton’s Shrimp Poppers and Gorton’s Popcorn Shrimp.
Let me know what you think if you make them!

I like this! Using chips for easy appetizer instead of just chomping them out of the bag .. I even like when shrimp are served with the tail, because we can count to see how many each person ate. Otherwise guacamole, chips shrimp just seem to evaporate around me.

I LOVE this recipe! Shrimp has always been one of my favorite seafoods and I love avocados. (Seriously, I will eat avocados inside a piece of bread). 🙂
This recipe can be made anytime, including for party or get-together. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Sabroso Saturday! This week, in honor of National Slow-Cooking Month, I created a crockpot version of cochinita pibil served as panuchos Yucatecos. Very healthy – low in fat and sodium. And instead of frying the tortilla with refried black beans stuffed inside, I opted for a healthier choice: tostadas. These are great as appetizers or as a light meal. And, truth be told, I sometimes cheat and use canned refried beans (but first I drain all the oil from the can). Enjoy!
