Grilled Shrimp Tostadas with Lime

Tostada Tuesday! Looking for a super-fast light summer meal?  Here is a fabulous 20 minute meal that could suit your weeknight quick-cooking needs!  Portion is huge and calories are small....my kind of meal.  I served these with a salad tossed in some homemade salsa ranch dressing. (Mix 1 TBSP salsa + 1 TBSP light ranch per salad) P.S.  If you wanted to keep this lower in carbs you could swap the tostadas for some low carb tortillas and just wrap the filling in those. Enjoy!
