Kale & Shrimp Tostadas with Spicy Almond Butter

Crispy grain free tortillas topped with kale, shrimp, and a spicy thai almond butter sauce. 

Only three weeks left until New York friends! Honestly, what I’m looking forward to the most is not cooking for five days. I did get an Airbnb so I’d have a kitchen, but I’m pretty much planning on taking pictures and eating out the entire time and there. Hey, if I’m going to be in one of the few places in the world that’s loaded with Paleo restaurants, I’m gonna take advantage of it.

Obviously I’ll be making a stop at Hu Kitchen, but then I’m excited to try a bunch of places I’ve never been before. I’ll be sure to give you guys a full recap of all of the new Paleo and gluten-free options that I find in my NYC travels. And obviously all of the coffee,too.

In the meantime let’s talk about tostadas. Sometimes I think this just a fancy word for “I microwaved a tortilla too long” but, I guess it can be an actual thing, too. I made this recipe to see what happens when you leave the microwave out of the equation. Turns out, it’s a good call.
