A vibrant and flavorful shrimp taco recipe with a zesty twist, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Combine the shrimp, taco seasoning, minced garlic, and juice from half a lime in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
Let the shrimp marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the shrimp mixture, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix with the juice from the remaining lime. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
Use a fork to mash the avocado for a chunky texture.
Warm the taco shells slightly in the oven or microwave.
Warming the shells enhances their flavor and makes them more pliable.
Assemble the tacos by filling each shell with cooked shrimp, a spoonful of avocado salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of salsa.
Layer the ingredients evenly for a balanced bite.
Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy!
Garnish with a wedge of lime for an extra zesty touch.
