Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the marinade ingredients. Allow the shrimp to marinade while the grill is preheating.
- Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
- Place the shrimp on the wooden skewers and grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp is cooked through.
- In a separate bowl, combine all the avocado salsa ingredients.
- Then it's time to assemble the tacos. Warm the tortillas. You can heat them in the microwave or place them on the grill for a few seconds to heat them through.
- Place cabbage on the bottom of each tortilla. Top it with the shrimp, avocado salad and cheese.
- Serve warm and then enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe can be made with raw or pre-cooked shrimp. If you use pre-cook shrimp, cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side to heat them through.
- These tacos are best served fresh but you can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
