Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds large frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon grated Valencia orange zest
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
20 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 avocados, thinly sliced, or to taste
1 red onion, finely diced, or to taste
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste
1 jalapeno pepper, diced, or to taste
2 limes, cut into wedges, or as needed

Steps:

  • Rinse defrosted shrimp under cold water, drain, and pat dry.
  • Combine shrimp, chili powder, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coriander, and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Heat olive oil in nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
  • While shrimp cooks, prepare crema by whisking together sour cream, zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cilantro, garlic powder, and 1 pinch each of salt and black pepper.
  • Heat corn tortillas in either a pan or on a griddle over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to let them burn. Set aside.

CILANTRO SHRIMP TACOS



Cilantro Shrimp Tacos image

These cilantro shrimp tacos are sort of a work in progress; I've only made it twice, so I haven't had much time to try different methods. I made it one day when trying to think of something to make for dinner, and I thought it turned out really well. I think it can be easily adjusted to suit different tastes. Serve with lime wedges.

SPICY SHRIMP TACOS WITH GARLIC CILANTRO LIME SLAW



SPICY SHRIMP TACOS WITH GARLIC CILANTRO LIME SLAW image

This is a recipe that I picked up from Lindsay at pinchofyum.com. Kuddos to her because it was absolutely delicious! Restaurant quality and so easy to make. My daughter and I breaded the shrimp and feasted all day.

Provided by Brigitte S.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 2 small tacos each, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup cilantro leaf
2 -3 garlic cloves (less if you're sensitive to garlicky things)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 limes, juice of
1/2 cup sour cream
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon southwest seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
2 -3 cups shredded green cabbage
8 small corn tortillas
1 -2 avocado
Cotija cheese, and additional cilantro for topping
lime wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
  • Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
  • To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lb shrimp, deveined & tails removed
1 teaspoon paprika

fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
