Happy Taco Tuesday everyone! Tacos are a staple in our household and they are so easy to make! Today I am sharing my favorite shrimp taco recipe.
What You'll Need
- 20 peeled and deveined shrimp
- Olive Oil
- Butter
- Corn Tortillas
- Arugula or Shredded Lettuce
- Cilantro
- Lemon or Lime
- Tomato
- Avocado
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Step 1: Prepare all of the veggies! Dice your tomatoes, chop your cilantro and lettuce, and cut a few wedges of lemon or lime for added flavor.
Tip: Slice up an avocado and throw that on your taco too!
Step 2: Heat your skillet for your shrimp. Put the pan on medium to high heat, and add butter to the skillet. Place the shrimp into the skillet, and add a little bit of lemon pepper seasoning (to taste), while they are cooking on each side. Allow them to cook evenly, this will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Once the shrimp have a nice pink-ish color, remove them from the skillet into a bowl so they can cool down.
Tip: Do not over cook the shrimp, they will become rubbery and chewy.
Step 3: Now for the tortillas! In a heated skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and begin placing in the corn tortillas. Keep the tortillas in the skillet for about 30-60 seconds until browned.
Step 4: It is time to build you tacos! Grab a tortilla, and put your veggies on the bottom, starting with the lettuce or arugula. Then add tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, shrimp, and desired sauce. Drizzle some lime or lemon juice on top too!
Tip: A cilantro lime sauce is always my go to for this yummy dish.
Step 5: Enjoy!
