Cooking Tips

• Make sure to devein and remove the shells from the prawns before marinating and cooking.
• You can customize the toppings based on your preference. Add some chopped cilantro, diced onions, or pickled jalapenos for extra flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add some hot sauce or chopped chili peppers to the marinade.
• For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the prawns with grilled vegetables or black beans.
• To make the tostadas gluten-free, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.

Storage and Serving

• Prawn tostadas are best served immediately after assembling to maintain the crispiness of the tortillas.
• If you have any leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat the tortillas and prawns before assembling again.
• You can also prepare the components in advance and assemble the tostadas just before serving for a quick and easy meal.
