Tajin Shrimp Tacos
Get ready for the most kickass, juicy, and spicy tacos ever! These Tajin shrimp tacos are perfect for your summer BBQ party.
Ingredients
- 150 g shrimp shelled and deveined.
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning
- 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
- 1 avocado
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 jalapeno
- 2 garlic
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoon cilantro
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Pan fry the shrimp in a bit of oil along with the Tajin seasoning. Remove and set aside.
- Combine avocado, cumin, cilantro, garlic, jalapenos, and lime juice in a blender and blend to make a creamy sauce.
- Lightly pan-fry the tortillas and start assembling them with the shredded lettuce and onions, followed by the Tajin shrimp.
- Finish up with a spoonful of the spicy avocado sauce, sliced jalapenos, and chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Pat dry the shrimp before pan frying it. This will give it that nice bit of golden char instead of steaming it.
- Avoid overcooking the shrimp. Depending on the size of the shrimp, you'll need only a few minutes to cook them. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
- I used a heavy-bottomed pan to cook the shrimp, but if you really like that char, you can skewer them and grill them outdoors too- it's perfect to try at a summer BBQ party.
- Don't forget to toast the tortillas slightly. It takes a couple of extra minutes, but it is totally worth the effort!
