Ingredients

  • 1 pound medium shrimp (thawed & peeled)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 8-10 medium flour tortillas
  • Toppings (optional to taste): sour cream, salsa, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare your shrimp. If they're frozen, run them under cool water until they're thawed. Peel them and remove the tails.
  2. Meanwhile, get your toppings ready.
  3. Add the shrimp to a skillet along with the olive oil and spices. Cook over medium-high heat until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, flipping/stirring them occasionally (approx. 5-6 minutes). Add salt & pepper as needed.
  4. Assemble your tacos as desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You may use taco seasoning instead of the suggested spices if that's easier for you.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you want to make these tacos spicy.
  • To warm flour tortillas all at once, wrap them in foil and warm in a 375F oven while you're getting everything else ready.
