Cevichetostada Recipes

Steps:

• To make tostada shells, lay tortillas in a single layer on a counter and cover with a dry towel for about 30 minutes. Heat oil to 1-inch depth in a large skillet to 380 degrees. Fry one at a time until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Cut fish into half-inch dice. Marinate in lime juice and salt to cover for 1 to 6 hours. Drain fish, mix with remaining ingredients and serve on the crisped tortillas with lime wedges, or use as a dip with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Transfer all ingredients (except salt) into a gallon storage/freezer bag and toss.
• Refrigerate the mixture overnight,
• Drain excess liquid, add salt, then serve over Tostadas.
• *Cod & Halibut work well and can be substituted for shrimp. I enjoy a blend with Squid, Baby Octopus, & Shrimp.

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a bowl (You may either coarsely chop the shrimp, or leave them whole, depending on your preference.) Add lemon, covering shrimp completely. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until opaque and slightly firm.
• Add tomatoes, onions, cucumber, radishes, and garlic; toss to combine. Gradually add cilantro and jalapenos to desired taste (jalapeno will grow stronger while marinating). Stir in tomato and clam juices to desired consistency. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Dice the fish into 1/4-inch cubes, place in a ceramic or glass bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add the lime juice and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down so the fish is submerged in the juice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a firmer texture.
• Drain the fish in a colander and return it to the mixing bowl. Add the onion, scallions, tomatillos and half the chiles. Add a good pinch of salt and mix well. Taste and add more chopped chiles if necessary. Stir in the cilantro and add a squeeze of lime.
• Line 4 to 6 individual plates with lettuce leaves. Center a tostada or several large tortilla chips on each plate and spoon the ceviche mixture on top.
• Surround with lightly salted avocado slices, then add radishes and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Boil about 3 quarts of water in a deep cooking pan. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat and put in the shrimp to cook for about 2-3 minutes until they look pink. Turn off the stove, drain the shrimp with a colander on the kitchen sink and set aside to cool off.
• Make the lemon marinade by mixing lemon juice with diced onions and garlic. Sprinkle it with salt & pepper to taste and set aside.
• Cut the shrimp in half and add to a deep large bowl. With this, mix marinade, tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Add Clamato juice and diced avocados. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate for ~1 hour.
• To serve, plate fresh tostada shells and top with marinated ceviche mix. Sprinkle with hot sauce of choice if desired.

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in large glass bowl. Add shrimp; toss to evenly coat. Refrigerate 20 min.
• Mash avocado with cream cheese in small bowl; spread onto tostada shells.
• Drain shrimp mixture; spoon onto tostada shells. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
