Tostadas are the best; crunchy good tortillas with just a whole lot of good stuff on top. In this case, we got good stuff in succulent shrimp tossed in butter (yum), a crema of sour cream and lime juice (double yum), and some crispy jalapeños on top (triple yum and hot hot hot!). And if it's messy, that just adds to the fun. Double fun. Triple fun. Okay, we'll stop now.
