Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas





Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb. Cooked detailed, peeled & deveined shrimp diced
(I prefer to have the ready to eat shrimp then "cook" in lime ;))
5-7 De seeded Roma diced tomatoes
2-3 Cucumbers diced
1/2 Chopped/diced white onion
1/4 C. Chopped fresh cilantro
1 Avocado sliced for top of tostada
2 Limes juiced
1 Lime cut for serving with tostada
Corn tortillas
Oil to fry tortillas
Sprinkle of Lawry's Garlic Salt

Combine shrimp, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, cilantro, and lime juice in medium bowl with a sprinkle of Lawry's Garlic Salt; cover. (May be prepared ahead and refrigerated.)

Fry corn tortillas while the mix is marinating, you can fry as many as you like, as the recipe above should make enough for your family.

Also you can adjust this recipe by adding crema to the bottom of the shell and adding crab meat along with a el pato style base. Make a side of beans to have bean tostadas with avocado and white Ranchero Mexican cheese.

Once your tortillas are fried, place a spoon full of the ceviche on the tostada topping with avocado slices and a lime wedge. Drizzle your favorite chile(Tapatio, Valentina, Cholula) over the top to spice up your tostada.
Such a perfect dish for a hot Summers day, enjoy!

Bike Rides and Sunshine



We took Noah to see Spy Kids 4D today, he really enjoyed it, even though the 4D part was a scratch and sniff card; He had a lot of fun after pretending we were spies. We didn't have a lot of time after the movie to spend together before Gabe had to go to work, so Gabe went for a run and Noah and I tagged along to ride his bike and enjoy the sunshine. Down to the play field we went with his bike, helmet and spy kid kit (his back pack) it was such a hot day! We had a good time, I've included a couple photos from the night before in his new Spiderman costume, he really gets in character as you can see in the photos...Enjoy!
