The salsa was especially good. I used pinto beans instead I think you could use many variations with this recipe and it would still be good.

O.K...loved the recipe, but it was not quick to make. Thirty minutes? No way. It took me 10 just to peel the shrimp! Anyhoo, I will definitely make this again. Salsa rocked!

The recipe Shrimp Tostadas with Avocado Salsa is great! I loved the flavor of the salsa - EXCELLENT! I didn't have shrimp or tostatda shells, so I subsituted with left over salmon and left over flour tortillas, plus used chilli powder instead of the blackened seasoning and it still came out delicious. Will absolutely make this again!!!
