I found these on http://janedeereblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/bbq-grilled-shrimp-tostadas.html

 So incredibly yummy!  As mentioned before I do not eat seafood, but lately I am liking shrimp.  I loved these.  But if you hate seafood I really think the seasoning would be great on chicken and then substituting the shrimp for chicken on the tostada's would be so yummy!
