How is it already the middle of the week again? Seems like it was just Friday…oh well. The good thing about a new week is that I get to try out a new taco!! My original plan was to make these tacos, but then I just sort of went off on a tangent and made my own version of them I suppose. I used a simple chili powder and lime juice marinade, sauteed the shrimp, and then wrapped them up in a flour tortilla with sour cream, salsa verde, avocado and cilantro. Quick, easy, tasty. Perfect for a Taco Tuesday.
Chili-Lime Shrimp Tacos
Ingredients
-
1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
-
1 lime
-
2 Tbsp chili powder
-
1 Tbsp olive oil
-
1 Avocado
-
Cilantro
-
Sour Cream
-
SalsaVerde
-
Flour Tortillas
Preparation
-
Mix the olive oil, chili powder and juice of the lime in a bowl. Place the shrimp in the bowl and toss to combine. Allow to marinate for 10-15 minutes (no longer than 30 minutes or the lime juice will start to break down the shrimp.)
-
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Remove shrimp from the marinade and place in the skillet. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until opaque. Remove from heat.
-
Meanwhile, slice the avocado and chop cilantro for garnish.
-
Using warm flour (or corn if you prefer) tortillas, layer with sour cream, salsa, shrimp, avocado and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice on top and enjoy!!
