Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shrimp Tacos Gobernador.
Step 1
Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and melting some butter until it’s bubbly and fragrant.
Step 2
Toss in the diced onion and serrano pepper, letting them sizzle away for about 4 to 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Step 3
Next, add in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Season this mixture with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the diced Roma tomatoes to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook them for about 3 minutes until they soften and blend beautifully with the other ingredients.
Step 7
Once the tomatoes are ready, add the shrimp and a splash of fresh lime juice.
Step 8
Cook everything together until the shrimp turns a lovely pink color, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Don’t forget to taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 10
When everything is cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat and divide the shrimp mixture into eight equal portions, setting them aside for later.
Step 11
Now, grab a cast iron skillet and set it over medium-low heat.
Step 12
Melt half a teaspoon of bacon drippings for that extra flavor.
Step 13
Place one tortilla in the skillet, then sprinkle 1 and a half tablespoons of shredded Oaxaca cheese on one side.
Step 14
Add one portion of the shrimp mixture on top of the cheese.
Step 15
Carefully fold the tortilla over, allowing it to cook until it’s semi-crisp and the cheese begins to melt, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 16
Flip the taco and let the other side cook to your desired level of crispiness, around 2 to 3 minutes more.
Step 17
Repeat this delightful process with the remaining tortillas, and soon you’ll have a delicious stack of shrimp tacos ready to enjoy.
Step 18
Each bite will be a burst of flavor, making your meal a memorable one!.
