Blackened Shrimp Tacos Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Blacken the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and blackened. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Place a portion of the blackened shrimp on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of sour cream or crema. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
