Camarón Taco Recipe

Main Menu

1. 1

   Marinate shrimp

   In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes while you prep the toppings.

2. 2

   Make cabbage slaw

   In a large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage with 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and set aside to soften.

3. 3

   Prepare pico de gallo

   In a medium bowl, mix diced tomato (1 cup), red onion (1/4 cup), minced jalapeño (1), and cilantro (0.25 cup). Add lime juice (1 tablespoon) and salt to taste. Stir and set aside.

4. 4

   Slice avocado

   Cut avocado in half, remove pit, and slice into wedges or chunks for topping.

5. 5

   Cook shrimp

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Warm tortillas

   In the same skillet, quickly warm each tortilla 10–15 seconds per side until pliable. Keep warm wrapped in a clean towel.

7. 7

   Assemble tacos

   For each tortilla, create a base of cabbage slaw, then add shrimp. Top with pico de gallo, avocado slices, and a drizzle of crema. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

8. 8

   Serve

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