Ingredients
Red Aguachile Base
Finish and serve
Red Aguachile Base
1. Prepare chiles and aromatics
Soak guajillo chiles in hot water for 10–15 minutes until softened. Drain and remove stems and seeds.
2. Make the aguachile sauce
Blend soaked chiles with garlic, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, cucumber, water, and salt until smooth. Adjust thickness with more water or lime juice.
3. Prepare shrimp
Pat shrimp dry. If using larger shrimp, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 inch).
4. Cure the shrimp in sauce
Toss shrimp with a portion of the blended sauce and let marinate in the refrigerator for 5–7 minutes until opaque.
5. Taste and adjust
Taste the aguachile and adjust salt. If desired, add orange juice for brightness.
Finish and serve
6. Crisp the tostadas
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange tostadas on a baking sheet and bake 5–7 minutes until crisp.
7. Assemble
Spread a spoonful of aguachile on each tostada. Top with cucumber pieces, onion, and a few pieces of shrimp.
8. Add avocado and garnish
Top with avocado slices. Scatter cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.
