Cooking and Assembling Tacos

Cook the Shrimp

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and cooked through.

6

Warm the Tortillas

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

7

Assemble the Tacos

On each tortilla, place a few shrimp, a slice of avocado, some red onion, and a handful of shredded cabbage. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce.

8

Serve

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