Method

Instructions for Preparing Blackened Shrimp Tacos

1

Prepare the Blackened Shrimp

In a bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in olive oil, then coat evenly with the spice mixture.

2

Cook the Shrimp

Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are cooked through and have a charred appearance.

3

Warm the Tortillas

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

4

Assemble the Tacos

Place a generous amount of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by the blackened shrimp. Top with avocado slices, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Add sour cream or yogurt if desired.

5

Serve

Serve the tacos immediately while hot, with extra lime wedges on the side.
