Shrimp Tacos 🌮🦐

Shrimp Tacos 🌮🦐

Few things are as effortlessly satisfying as shrimp tacos. They're quick, fresh, and loaded with flavor—the kind of meal you can whip up and enjoy in minutes. Let’s get into it:

What You’ll Need

  • Fresh Agua Blanca shrimp (head-on, headless, or peeled & deveined—your call)
  • Tortillas (corn or flour)
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 purple onion, diced
  • Âź cabbage, shredded
  • A handful of coriander (cilantro), roughly chopped
  • Chipotle mayo or your favorite hot sauce
  • Seasoning of choice (we like to keep it simply salty)
  • Olive oil
  • Lime wedges
  • A cold beer (optional but we highly endorse it)

Let’s Cook!

Prep Your Shrimp

If your shrimp still have shells or heads, peel and devein them. (Pro tip: Save those heads and shells—they’re gold for stocks or sauces.)
To keep your shrimp looking plump and fancy once cooked, make a shallow cut along the back. Toss them in a bowl with the chopped garlic and a pinch of salt.

Cook the Shrimp

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once it’s hot, add the shrimp. Cook for about 1.5 minutes per side, just until they turn that irresistible bright red. (Shrimp can be eaten raw, so don’t overthink it—pull them off whenever they look right for you.)

Warm the tortillas while the shrimp sizzle.

Assemble the Tacos

Place a few shrimp in each tortilla and top with shredded cabbage, diced onion, and a sprinkle of coriander. Chipotle mayo or hot sauce is a must.

There You Go!

Just squeeze a lime over the top, and you’re ready to enjoy!
