Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combine the shrimp with a tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Give it a good toss until the shrimp are beautifully coated in the flavorful mixture.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes; this allows the spices to infuse and the shrimp to soak up all that deliciousness.
Step 4
While the shrimp are marinating, heat the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook them for around five minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a lovely pink and are cooked through.
Step 7
Just before taking them off the heat, drizzle some fresh lime juice over the shrimp for a zesty kick.
Step 8
Now, letβs warm up those corn tortillas! Place them on an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Heat each tortilla for about 10 to 15 seconds on one side, then flip and warm for another 5 to 10 seconds until theyβre soft and pliable.
Step 10
Itβs time to assemble your tacos! Take a warm tortilla and fill it generously with the succulent shrimp.
Step 11
Top it off with some vibrant tomatillo salsa, creamy chopped avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 12
For the finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top to elevate the flavors.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious shrimp tacos, bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion!.
