Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, until plump and pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Make the mango pico de gallo. Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt as needed. Assemble the tostadas. Spread about 2 tablespoons of smashed avocado on each tostada shell.
