Shrimp Tacos
Makes 8-10 Tacos
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of frozen, raw shrimp
- 2 cups of shredded red and green cabbage
- 1.5 cups of plain greek yogurt (or 2-3 single serve containers)
- 3-4 limes (whole - will use the zest and juice!)
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- Sea salt
- 3-4 ripe avocados
- ½ medium red onion
- 1 tbsp of coconut or avocado oil
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- 2 TBPS Cotija cheese (optional)
Directions:
- Thaw frozen shrimp under cold, running water until all ice is melted and shrimp are soft
OR thaw overnight in the refrigerator
- While the shrimp are thawing, prepare the yogurt dressing by mixing the plain greek
yogurt with a generous dash of chili powder, paprika, zest of half of the lime, juice of 1-2
whole limes, and sea salt to taste.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the cabbage and mix until fully coated. Set aside
- Next, prep guacamole by dicing half of a medium red onion and smashing 3-4 avocados.
Add the zest and juice from another lime, chili powder, paprika, and salt to taste. Cover
with plastic wrap and set aside to prevent browning.
- Once the shrimp are thawed, pat them fully dry with a paper towel and season with
paprika and chili powder. Add to a pre-heated pan on high heat with a light layer of
coconut or avocado oil. Or- you can cook in an air fryer for a crispier finish.
- Cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully pink and slightly charred.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a pan on medium heat with a light layer of oil, warm each tortilla on each side.
- Assemble each taco by adding the dressed cabbage, shrimp, and guacamole. Top with
cotija cheese
