    Black Bean & Shrimp Tostados

    Black Bean and Shrimp TostadasDon't you just love it when you are the super smartest person who planned ahead and made homemade dinner so easy?! Remember? You made up a super big batch of the best Slow Cooker Refried Black Beans ever and now you can throw together a seemingly endless number of delicious dinners with barely any fuss! Ummm, like these shrimp tostadas? They look so great, right? And? SO. EASY. You are so welcome. Oh wait, and I guess you would want to know that these were indeed approved my official team of taste testers. Otherwise known as my husband and kids. That totally counts.

    Black Bean and Shrimp Tostadas

    I like to make shrimp for a couple reasons. I mean, we all know it's quick and easy. But the other thing? My kids go nuts over it. They act like I've done something so amazingly awesome for them whenever I make it and there is a small chance I milk that just a bit. Someday that will catch up to me when they figure out that it's really not hard, but for now? I'll just play the part of the awesome mom, thank you very much.

    Maybe now I should mention how this is another of my crazy flavor combo recipes? I can't get over the sweet, salty and spicy combos and it comes together perfectly and easily for this dinner! Sweet raspberry jam, spicy shrimp and garlicky black beans do the trick!

    Get out there and impress! I won't tell anyone how easy this is!
