    # Instructions 

    # Make the Tostadas

    1. Preheat your oven to 400℉. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange corn tortillas in a single layer. Spray the tops with more cooking oil and sprinkle with salt.

    2. Bake for 6 minutes, then flip the tortillas, sprinkle with a little more salt, and bake for another 4–5 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy to your liking.

    # Make the Guacamole

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine avocados, chopped red onion, diced tomato, garlic powder, salt, and lime juice. Mash together until smooth and well combined.

    # Make the Mango Salsa

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine diced mangoes, chopped red onion, diced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until everything is well combined.

    # Cook the Blackened Shrimp

    1. Season the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar.

    2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    # Assembling the Shrimp Tostadas

    1. Spread a layer of guacamole onto each baked tostada. Top with 4–5 shrimp, then spoon mango salsa over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy while the tostadas are crisp and fresh.
