1

In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, honey, avocado oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, and salt to taste for the slaw. Stir until well mixed. Add the shredded cabbage and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2

In a large skillet, combine water, sofrito base, and cayenne pepper for the slaw. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the boiling liquid, return to a boil, and cook until the shrimp turn white and peachy-pink and form a C shape, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the shrimp from the cooking liquid immediately.
3

Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
4

In a bowl, stir together refried beans, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and garlic granules for the tostadas. Spread the bean mixture on each tostada shell, 1 to 2 tablespoons per tostada or to taste. Sprinkle queso fresco crumbles evenly over each tostada. Arrange the tostadas in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.
5

Broil under the preheated broiler until the cheese begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully so the tostada shells do not burn.
6

Place about 1/2 cup of the prepared slaw on each tostada. Top with chopped cilantro to taste. Add three shrimp per tostada and drizzle crema over all. Serve with lime slices, if desired.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
