Bite Sized Happiness
Does anything get cuter than bite sized appetizers? I know, I know. We could argue that ALL appetizers are bite sized, but I’m talking about the ones that are mini versions of the real deal: sliders, mini meatballs, pizza bites, and now…these itty bitty Bite Sized Shrimp Tostadas!
Making Bite Sized Shrimp Tostadas
These mini tostadas couldn’t be easier, since tortilla chips are standing in for the traditionally fried tortilla. They’re the perfect vehicle for all fo your tostada dreams!
I love roasted shrimp, so making shrimp tostadas was a no brainer. I marinate the shrimp in smoked paprika, garlic, and chili powder. The marinade gets its tart kick from fresh squeezed lime juice, which there genuinely is no substitution for. They get roasted in the oven until just pink.
You can choose to add your favorite toppings, but I opted for avocado, cilantro, and chopped red pepper. Add a few fresh lime wedges, and you have yourself a mini tostada party.
