Ingredients

Shrimp Marinade

Chimichurri Sauce

Tacos

Preparation

Shrimp Marinade

1. Prepare the Shrimp

In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.

2. Marinate

Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Chimichurri Sauce

3. Combine Ingredients

In a food processor, add the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

4. Blend

Pulse the mixture until well combined but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Cooking and Assembling Tacos

5. 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.
