Syd's Shrimp Taco Recipe

One of my go-to recipes is shrimp tacos. I make this for my friends and family all the time in warm weather months and it’s a crowd pleaser :)

Ingredients (based on 4 servings):

• Tortillas: I like flour tortillas the best, but you can use corn tortillas

• Shrimp: Seasoned with olive oil, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper. I usually get between 1-2 pounds depending on how many people I’m serving (3-4 shrimp per taco)

  • If you want it spicier I've used this recipe from Food 52

• Guacamole: 3 large Avocado, 1 lime, 1 tomato, cilantro, half a red onion, jalapeno, 2 cloves garlic, salt/pepper/cayenne to taste, Cholula

• Salsa

• Tortilla chips

• Toppings: Cabbage (usually buy a bag of pre-chopped), raw corn (3 husks), radishes

• Spicy Aioli: 1 cup of Mayo and 1-2 tablespoons of adobe pepper sauce (depending on how spicy you like it)

• Optional: Sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, avocado slices

Instructions:

• Let the shrimp marinade for at least 30 min - the longer the better

• Grill or cook shrimp on stove top

  • Note: if you grill, I recommend using tin foil so the shrimp don’t fall through the rack on the grill

• Chop the avocado, tomato, cilantro, red onion, garlic and jalapeño pepper. Mix together to make guacamole and then add salt, pepper, cayenne, lime and Cholula to taste

• Place tortillas flat on tin foil and then warm them up in the oven or on grill

• Cut the corn off the cob

• Slice radishes

• Mix mayo + adobe pepper sauce together

• Create an assembly line of everything (tortillas, shrimp, corn, radishes, cabbage, salsa, aioli and guac) and serve!
