Grilled Mini Pineapple Rum Shrimp Tostadas

mini shrimp tostadas

Mini food just makes me happy. Is that weird? These Grilled Mini Pineapple Tostadas are the perfect bite. They are a little sweet, a little spicy with the cold crunch of the pineapple salsa.

I was asked to create several recipes for Old El Paso that I will be sharing with you  over the next few months. These tostadas are made from Old El Paso soft tacos. I took a small round cookie cutter and cut circles out of the soft taco. I brushed them with oil and then grilled them quickly over the grill.

You can pre-cut the circles a day ahead and store in a baggie. The salsa can also be made ahead which always makes it easier!
