I am not consistent at cooking in the summertime, and I never really have been. I live off of sandwiches and fresh fruit and sunshine, and I’m perfectly content with it. However, I think these spicy shrimp tacos have been dubbed a new staple meal for this summer.
Cook these bad boys up in one skillet and get them on the table in about 15 minutes to make your friends and family drool. And serve them with a spicy marg to really have some ~layers~ of flavor!
Ingredients:
- 18 shrimp
- 6 in tortillas of choice (about 3/ person)
- Salsa (I prefer a pineapple or mango salsa for this recipe)
- Sour cream
- Avocado
- Corn (we love Trader Joe’s Mexican Style Roasted Corn)
- Lime
- Fresh cilantro
- Cotija cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Chili lime seasoning (From TJ’s, but plain chili seasoning works too)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Garlic powder
For the Margs:
- Tequila of choice
- Jalapeno Limeade from Trader Joe’s
- Lime
- Tajin seasoning
Now you make it:
- In a skillet, add the olive oil and the shrimp and season with salt and pepper, generous amounts of garlic, and chili lime (start light, you can always add more – depends on your desired heat level of the shrimp). Cook on medium high for about 3 minutes and flip the shrimp, cooking for about 3 minutes or until cooked through on the other side
- On a plate, microwave the tortillas. If corn tortillas, wrap the stack in a wet paper towel and microwave for 1 minute.
- Heat the corn according to directions.
- Load the spicy shrimp tacos with all your favorite toppings!!
- If making a spicy marg, run a lime around the rim of the glass and dip it in Tajin. Add 1 shot of tequila and 3 shots of Jalapeno limeade. Add ice.
Enjoy!
