Taco Tuesday: Chili-Lime Shrimp Tacos

How is it already the middle of the week again? Seems like it was just Friday...oh well. The good thing about a new week is that I get to try out a new taco!! My original plan was to make these tacos, but then I just sort of went off on a tangent and made my own version of them I suppose. I used a simple chili powder and lime juice marinade, sauteed the shrimp, and then wrapped them up in a flour tortilla with sour cream, salsa verde, avocado and cilantro. Quick, easy, tasty. Perfect for a Taco Tuesday.

Chili-Lime Shrimp Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
• 1 lime
• 2 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Avocado
• Cilantro
• Sour Cream
• SalsaVerde
• Flour Tortillas

Preparation

1. Mix the olive oil, chili powder and juice of the lime in a bowl. Place the shrimp in the bowl and toss to combine. Allow to marinate for 10-15 minutes (no longer than 30 minutes or the lime juice will start to break down the shrimp.)
2. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Remove shrimp from the marinade and place in the skillet. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until opaque. Remove from heat.
3. Meanwhile, slice the avocado and chop cilantro for garnish.
4. Using warm flour (or corn if you prefer) tortillas, layer with sour cream, salsa, shrimp, avocado and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice on top and enjoy!!
