Not too long ago I posted a recipe for BBQ Grilled Shrimp and it was a simple and delicious shrimp recipe! I decided to grill some more shrimp and build a tostada with fresh smashed avocado, creamy cilantro lime slaw { borrowed from my Baja Style Fish Tacos }, ripe tomatoes and crumbled Queso Fresco … they turned out great!
