1/2 lime (juiced)
2 tbsp red onion (minced)
1 small clove garlic (mashed)
1/2 tbsp chopped cilantro
kosher salt and fresh pepper (to taste)

For the tostada:

16 jumbo shrimp (3/4 lb, shelled and deveined)

4 tostada shells
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup canned fat free refried beans (love Trader Joe's)

Optional toppings:

extra salsa verde (for topping)
2 tbsp crumbled queso blacno (optional)

Instructions

If cooking outside on the grill, soak skewers at least 30 minutes.
Place the pulp from the avocados in a medium bowl and slightly mash with a fork or a potato masher leaving some large chunks. Add tomato, lime juice, salt, pepper, cilantro, red onion, garlic and mix thoroughly.
Season shrimp with salt, then mix in crushed garlic and 2 tbsp salsa verde. Thread the shrimp onto 4 skewers.
Light the grill or indoor grill pan on medium flame, when hot spray the grates with oil and grill the shrimp about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.
Place a tostada on each plate, top each with 1/4 cup refried beans spread evenly, 1/4 cup lettuce and guacamole.
Top each with a shrimp skewer on top and serve with extra salsa verde and cheese if using.
