Ingredients

Servings

Shrimp Tacos

  • 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil avocado or extra virgin olive oil, generic cooking oil
  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled, deveined, tails removed, medium
  • 16 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups cabbage shredded
  • ½ cup queso fresco crumbled

Taco Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp cumin ground
  • ½ tsp oregano dried
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder

Cilantro Lime Sauce

  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients for the taco seasoning in a small bowl.
  2. Pat the shrimp dry and add to a medium size bowl. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and stir to coat the shrimp.
  3. Heat oil in a medium size skillet over medium heat. Lay the shrimp in the skillet spaced apart, cook in batches if needed, and allow to cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and continue to cook an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through and has a pink coloring.
  4. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and cook additional shrimp if needed in batches.
  5. Briefly heat corn tortillas on a skillet to soften them. Layer the tortillas to help prevent breaking. Fill with shredded cabbage and cooked shrimp. Top with crumbled queso fresco and a drizzle of cilantro lime cream sauce.
