Coconut-Chile Shrimp Tostadas with Pineapple Salsa and Guacamole are a vibrant and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors will delight your taste buds.

Start by preparing the pineapple salsa. In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Next, make the guacamole. Mash ripe avocados in a bowl and add chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

For the shrimp, combine shredded coconut with a bit of chili powder in a shallow dish. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then dredge each one in the coconut-chili mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the shrimp until they are pink and the coconut coating is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Assemble the tostadas by spreading a layer of guacamole on each tostada shell. Top with the coconut-chile shrimp and a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa.

Serve the Coconut-Chile Shrimp Tostadas immediately. They are perfect for a fun and festive meal, bursting with tropical flavors and a bit of heat. Enjoy the crispy shrimp, creamy guacamole, and tangy pineapple salsa in every bite.
