Shrimp Marinade

Method

Marinating the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Stir to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Place them on the grill or skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the shrimp are cooking, warm the corn tortillas on another skillet or grill for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble Tacos

    Place a few shrimp on each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, sliced avocado, and radishes. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream, if desired.
