Preparing the Blackened Shrimp

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice blend.

    Add the shrimp to the bowl with the spice blend. Drizzle the olive oil over the shrimp and toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the spices.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are cooked through and have a nice char. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Tacos
