Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp:

    - In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice.

      - Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

        - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Make the Guacamole:

            - In a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth or leave slightly chunky, as desired.

              - Stir in the chopped onion, tomato, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

                Prepare the Fresh Salsa:

                  - In another bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

                    Assemble the Tostadas:

                      - On each tostada shell, start by adding a layer of shredded lettuce.

                        - Top with a generous scoop of guacamole, followed by the cooked shrimp.

                          - Spoon some fresh salsa over the shrimp. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and add slices of avocado for garnish.

                            Serve:

                              - Arrange the assembled tostadas on a platter and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
