Shrimp Tacos

[Dom]

It's a sign that you should try shrimp for today!

Ingredients:​

• 1 pound (about 450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Juice of 1 lime
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
• Your favorite taco toppings: shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cilantro, lime wedges, salsa, sour cream, etc.

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice until well coated. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook the shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as shrimp can become rubbery if cooked too long. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Warm the tortillas: While the shrimp is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
4. Assemble the tacos: Fill each tortilla with cooked shrimp and your favorite toppings. Feel free to get creative here! Add shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, salsa, sour cream, or any other toppings you like.
5. Serve and enjoy: Once assembled, serve the shrimp tacos immediately while they're still warm. They make a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.

Feel free to adjust the seasonings and toppings to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade shrimp tacos!
