Shrimp Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the shrimp and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

    Finely shred the cabbage and place it in a bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and toss to combine.

  3. 3

    Make the Avocado Crema

    In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, juice of one lime, salt, and a bit of water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. 4

    Slice the Red Onion

    Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.

  5. 5

    Chop the Cilantro

    Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and set aside for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

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

  2. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    In another dry skillet, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer the cooked shrimp, cabbage slaw, a drizzle of remoulade, and top with sliced red onion and chopped cilantro. Add the avocado crema on top.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
