Shrimp and Crab Ceviche on Fried Tortillas

"The word tostada means toasted in Spanish. In Mexico, tostada refers toasted corn tortilla that’s fried to a crisp. It may also refer to a dish that uses the crunchy tortilla as a kind of edible plate for all sorts of delicious ingredients, in this case a luscious shrimp and crab salad typical of Michoacán, the seaside Mexican state where the Robledos come from. Cook time is approximate. Courtesy Saveur Magazine."
