Taco Filling

Method

Preparation of Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

Taco Assembly

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the shrimp mixture onto each warmed tortilla. Top with slices of avocado, shredded red cabbage, and sliced radishes.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
