Method

Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chili

    Slice the Fresno chilies in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. In a saucepan, combine the chilies with sugar and heat on medium until the sugar caramelizes and coats the chilies, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Avocado Foam

  1. 3

    Make the Avocado Foam

    In a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, heavy cream, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach desired consistency. Transfer to a siphon or keep in a bowl.

Taco Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shrimp mixture, top with candied Fresno chilies, and drizzle avocado foam. Garnish with micro cilantro before serving.
