Easy Summer Dinner

This week I tried to get a little more creative with our meals and use food we already had or was in the freezer. One of the meals I made was Shrimp de Gallo Tostadas. As we were eating, my husband Josh told me it was a great summer meal so I thought I would share it. This is easy to do and very yummy.

Shrimp de Gallo Tostadas

First, I made the Shrimp de Gallo from Pioneer Woman- recipe HERE . One thing to remember is that if you make this ahead of time, leave out the avocado because it will turn very quickly. What I did was cut up the avocado separately and left it to the side, then if we had any of the shrimp mixture leftover, I could just put it back in the fridge. 

Tostadas or Tortillas chips

Cheddar or Mont. Jack cheese

Sour cream and jalapenos- optional

For this I used tostadas, which are basically large tortilla chips. You could also just use tortillas chips. I put cheese on the tostadas and baked them in the oven until the cheese melted. If you broil them, just keep an eye on them so that the tostadas don't burn. Then serve with all the toppings! This is the picture from Pioneer Woman's website- I don't have a camera this good!!

The Shrimp mixture is nice, cool and refreshing. The meal isn't super heavy either- perfect for a hot day. It would also make a great appetizer for a party.
