Ingredients
- 4 burrito-size flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add garlic and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until zucchini is crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. Stir in lime juice. Spoon shrimp mixture over tortillas and top with sour cream and scallions.
This was so good. I was looking for a different recipe for shrimp. Only thing i did different was add a few drops of hot sauce to mixture.
I followed the recipe exactly and it was surprisingly delicious!
This recipe was pretty good. I tried to go the healthy route and picked up whole wheat burrito sized tortilla but when they toasted up, they were chewy and not very good. I think I will use corn tortillas next time. The lime juice added at the end gave a zesty kick to the shrimp!
OMG! So Good! I made this by the recipe except I shallow fried the tortillas instead of baking them... so crispy! After spending the time to plan, grocery shop,
LOved this! You can see my results here: http://marthaandme.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/shrimp-and-zucchini-tostadas/
Yum! I made this meal after reading the comments below. I used 1 medium zucchini, 1 red bell pepper, 1 med onion, avocado, and Cabot's low-fat sour cream, following the other directions for shrimp
MSLO-tiffany: I only had one small onion, so I added a couple sliced shallots. You were right; the oniony flavor was delicious!
this was easy, quick, and delicious! next time, i might add some red pepper or sauteed onions to the mix.
Very delicious! The only thing I would add would be avocado. Both my companion and I had thought of this independently. A few more scallions wouldn't hurt, either!
Super easy, I used 0 fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and had wonderful results
I thought about asparagus but wasn't sure if it would overwhelm the shrimp. Maybe snow peas or sugar snap peas?
I do not have zucchini so I will use asparagus.
I do not cae for zucchini --- is there some other vegie that might work ?
