  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • to taste salt / pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions (optional)

Instructions
 

Lomi Tomato Vinaigrette

  • Make this ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend.  
  • Chop Tomatoes, Onions, Cilantro and place in bowl.

  • Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.  
  • Cook shrimp for 5 minutes on grill or in shallow skillet.  
  • Once cooked, set aside.

Mini Tostadas

  • I love to make my own tostadas using corn tortillas.  Its a lot of work, but worth the effort.  
  • Take as many tortillas as you have pieces of shrimp.  Use the rim of a glass or round cookie cutter and cut your mini tortillas to size.  I like them to be around 2" - 3" max.
  •  Once all of the tortillas are cut to size, heat vegetable oil.  
  • Once the oil is hot enough, fry the tortillas until nice and crispy.  B
  • e careful not to over crowd.  
  • Drain on paper towels and continue until all tortillas are cooked.

How To Serve:

    Assembly

    • Take a crispy tortilla, top with lettuce, a piece of shrimp and lomi tomato.  You can do just about anything here.
    • If you want you can try different toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, black bean salsa, daikon, kim chee...get creative and have a blast.
    •  You can even let your guests build their own
