Ingredients
- 1 Shrimp medium; uncooked; 3/4 lb. bag
- 8-12 flour tortilla medium size
- 1/2 teaspoon southwest seasoning McCormick brand
- 1/2 tablespoon Tex-Mex seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 Worcestershire sauce dashes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce brand example: Sweet Baby Ray's
Garnish:
- 1 lime cut into quarters, fresh
- cherry tomato cut into quarters or smaller
- onion diced, half
- sour cream
- salsa brand example: Newman's Own Tequila Lime
Instructions
- Start by preparing the shrimp. If frozen, remove from bag and place in colander. Run cool water over them until they thaw. Peel and devein.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (to warm tortillas), wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven.
- Chop the onion and tomatoes.
- Pour olive oil into frying pan and add shrimp, southwest seasoning, Tex Mex seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce. Since shrimp cook really fast I like to add everything to the pan before I turn on the heat. Once you have all the ingredients in the pan, mix them up and spread the shrimp out so none are on top of each other.
- Cook the shrimp on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce reduces a bit.
- Top tacos with shrimp, sour cream, salsa, onions, and tomatoes.
Notes
- *You probably won't be able to find McCormick Southwest Seasoning here in Canada (I pick some up from Safeway when I visit the States). I am not sure if anywhere besides the States sells it. You can omit it or substitute with a bit of chipotle chili pepper (perhaps start with 1/8 tsp). If you're not good with spice, omit it altogether. I used whole wheat tortillas in the photos.
