Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Cook the Shrimp

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until blackened and cooked through.

3. Prepare the Lime Crema

In a small bowl, mix sour cream and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Assemble the Tacos

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with blackened shrimp, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a drizzle of lime crema. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
