What do I need?
- 24 tostadas
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 4 avocados, roughly chopped
- 2 cups coriander leaves, chopped plus additional for garnish
- Juice of 2 limes
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 kg prawns, peeled and deveined

- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 red chillis, seeds removed, finely diced

How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Line baking trays with baking paper and lightly spray both sides of the tostadas with cooking spray. Cook tostadas in oven for 2 minutes per side.
- Turn on oven grill to medium. Sprinkle tostadas with grated cheese and grill until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Combine avocados, coriander, lime juice and a generous pinch of salt in a bowl and mash to make guacamole. Set aside in fridge.
- Add prawns to a large bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, cumin, cayenne, paprika, chilli and garlic. Toss to coat the prawns.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Cook prawns, in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for a further 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add sliced capsicum to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- To serve, spoon some guacamole over each tostada, top with prawns and capsicum and garnish with coriander leaves.
