Ever since my family and I discovered the joy of shrimp tacos during a picturesque summer vacation in Mexico, they’ve become a staple in our kitchen. Perfect for anyone craving a quick yet savory meal, this shrimp tacos recipe is a delightful fusion of juicy shrimp, fresh veggies, and creamy sauce, all wrapped up in a soft taco shell.
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined,
- 1 tbsp olive oil,
- 1 tsp chili powder,
- 1 tsp cumin,
- Juice of 1 lime,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 8 small corn tortillas,
- 2 cups shredded cabbage,
- 1 avocado, sliced,
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped,
- 1/2 cup sour cream,
- 1 tbsp chipotle sauce,
Mix the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Lay a tortilla flat and add a spoonful of shredded cabbage, a few slices of avocado, and a portion of the cooked shrimp.
Drizzle with sour cream mixed with chipotle sauce, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your shrimp tacos warm!
