Shrimp Tostadas

This is definitely one of the easiest dishes I've ever made, and it was a hit with the family. I somewhat adapted an original recipe to make it even more ridiculously easy, and it yielded excellent results.

1 lb cooked bay shrimp, tails removed
2 cans Rotel - Mexican style with cilantro and lime juice
little lime juice - maybe 1 Tb
1 can refried black beans, warmed
Tostada shells (they make new baked ones)
Lettuce (optional)

Directions: Throw shrimp and 2 cans Rotel Mexican into bowl. Add about a Tb of lime juice, or whatever you like. Throw in fridge for a few hours, or none at all. Then take tostadas and layer with refried beans, shrimp mix, and optional cilantro on top. If you want to add lettuce, it will make it tougher to put the shrimp mix on top. We opted to leave it out this time, and we thought it was better because it had more shrimp mix on top.

I actually served it with black bean soup, from the blog. Enjoy!
