Ingredients

For the mayonnaise:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Pinch of kosher or sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the tostadas:

To Prepare

To make the mayonnaise:

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the lime zest. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

To make the tostadas:

  • Have the three salsas prepared and ready to use, and the tostadas within reach.
  • Season the shrimp and scallops with the salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a very large skillet over high heat. Once the butter has begun to foam, add the shrimp. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes per side, just until nicely seared and browned on the outside but not overcooked inside. Scrape into a bowl. Return the skillet to the heat, add the remaining butter and oil, and once the butter foams, add the scallops. Cook for a minute per side, until the tops and bottoms are browned and the middles are no longer translucent, and remove from the heat. The scallops should be medium rare. As soon as you can handle them, slice thin and set aside.
  • Spread about a tablespoon of the mayonnaise on each tostada, top with a layer of sliced scallops, a couple of tablespoons of the salsa bandera, and then a layer of the shrimp. Crown with avocado slices. Top the avocado slices with a couple of tablespoons of salsa negra and add apple chiltepin salsita or another hot sauce to taste. Serve immediately, passing more salsa negra around the table for people to add as desired.

    Love all your true Mex. Sauces, roasts, marinades, etc. what I don’t care for is hand held foods. I want all your great dishes on a plate, tortillas on the side. Our people’s century’s ago didn’t have silverware so they gnawed on everything hand held. Now we have Renaissance Fairs to replicate old customs.. my dad a farmer took lunches like that in the fields. Fast food pits stops serve hand food but in my home I only serve on plates with silverware. I don’t think Mexican food is thought of as “great cuisine” because it is so casual..

      I see your point Marian, thanks for sharing. On the other hand, I love foods that I can eat with my hands 🙂

    It’s been a while since I made this recipe, but am sorry I waited so long. I made the sauces yesterday, so dinner this evening was quick, easy, and SO delicious. I left out the scallops this time, but it’s still my wife’s favorite :). Gracias, Pati!

    Pati, Hi! Maria de Lago Salado. Me encantan sus recetas. Hoy la vimos con mi esposo preparando las seafood tostadas y me gustaría tener la receta para la salsa negra milusos?

    Somos muy afortunados de verla en la tv y poder encontrar sus deliciosas recetas por este medio.
    Muchas gracias!

        I love your recipes! Jicama is hard to find here where we are in Canada but we are beginning to see chayote. Are they interchangeable?
        Thankyou for your recipes, we are vegan and they are easy to accommodate. Muy gracias !

          I wouldn’t say chayote and jicama are substitutes, the first one is more a vegetable to me and the jicama is a crisp, sweet juicy fruit 😉

    Pati, I made these tostada’s from the recipe in your book and took them to the family game night and they were a big hit :). The jicama & pineapple pico de Gallo and seasoning sauce were delicious. I’m glad made a double batch, so left-overs for my wife and I for lunch this week :). I’ll definitely be making this again!
