• 150 grams Bay scallops
• 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

Step 2

Drain the seafood and immediately transfer it to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then drain well.

Step 3

Dice the cooked shrimp and scallops into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add lime juice, lemon juice, and olive oil to the seafood. Toss gently to coat and allow to marinate for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 5

While the seafood is marinating, prepare the toppings by dicing the cherry tomatoes, chopping the red onion and cilantro, and slicing the avocado, radishes, and serrano chili (if using).

Step 6

Season the marinated seafood with salt and black pepper. Add the cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and serrano chili (if using). Mix gently to combine.

Step 7

Assemble the tostadas by layering each corn tostada with a few slices of avocado, then spooning the seafood mixture on top.

Step 8

Garnish each tostada with sliced radishes, a sprinkle of cotija cheese (if using), and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant and fresh dish!
