Ingredients
- 36 Frozen or fresh cooked tail off large shrimp (31 to 35 per pound size), thawed
- 8 oz. of Cotija cheese, crumbled
- 6 – 8 inch flour tortillas: cut 6, 2 inch circles out of each with a biscuit cutter -or puff pastry?
- 2 About 2 cups of Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 jar of your favorite salsa
- 12 oz. package of guacamole
- Kosher or sea salt
Preparation
Step 1
If frozen, Rinse the thawed shrimp and pat dry, transfer to a medium bowl and toss gently with the salsa
Heat oil in a medium sized heavy skillet over medium heat
Cut the tortillas into rounds and pierce a small hole through the center of each small round with a toothpick or a skewer, this prevents them from puffing up too much when frying.
Add to hot oil, turning down the temperature if necessary, cook until golden for a couple of minutes on each side, drain on paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, repeat until all the tortilla rounds are done.
Place the tortillas on a sheet pan and spoon about a teaspoon of guacamole on each, followed by the salsa coated shrimp and then a sprinkling of the Cotija cheese and enjoy!
