Ingredients for Shrimp Street Tacos

Method

Directions for Preparing Shrimp Street Tacos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat 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 opaque. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a serving of the cooked shrimp on each tortilla. Top with pickled onions, cilantro, cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and drizzle with salsa verde.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra salsa verde on the side.
