Cooking steps

1

Dice the white fish and shrimp into small pieces. Place them in a medium non-metallic bowl.
2

Pour the lime juice over the seafood, making sure all pieces are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The seafood is ready when it turns opaque.
3

Drain the excess lime juice carefully, then combine seafood with diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in a mixing bowl.
4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Gently fold in sliced avocado for creamy texture.
5

Arrange the tostada shells on plates. Spoon the ceviche mixture generously on top of each shell, spreading evenly. Serve immediately for maximum crispness.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The main ingredient that defines Tostadas de Ceviche is the combination of fresh seafood—white fish and shrimp. Their delicate texture and clean, oceanic flavor are the foundation of the dish, enhanced by lime juice, tomatoes, and cilantro. The tostada shell adds a satisfying crunch that brings everything together.

Q. What is the most important timing and heat control for Tostadas de Ceviche?

Since ceviche is cured rather than cooked with heat, the crucial timing is to let the fish and shrimp marinate in lime juice for 30–40 minutes in the refrigerator. This ensures they are safely cured and develop the right texture. Avoid over-marinating, as the seafood can become too firm or dry.

Q. How do I keep the tostada shells crisp and prevent sogginess?

To maintain the crunch of your tostada shells, assemble them with the ceviche mixture only right before serving. Don't let the mixture sit on the shells for long, as the moisture will soften them. Drain excess lime juice thoroughly from the seafood to further prevent sogginess.

Q. How many calories and what are the protein-to-carb ratios per serving?

Each serving provides about 210 kcal. You'll get 18g of protein (34% of calories) and 22g of carbs (42% of calories), making this recipe protein-rich and balanced, suitable for those watching both their carb and protein intake.
