They pair perfectly with dishes like Mexican Street Corn or pozole.

Ingredients

6 corn tostadas
1 pouch Prime Shrimp Signature
1 cup refried beans
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1/2 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
1/2 cup sour cream

Cook the Prime Shrimp according to package directions.
In a small pot, warm the refried beans over medium heat until they are heated through and spreadable.
