Shrimp Tacos
While planning our trip to Captiva, we (I) decided each couple would prepare a meal to be enjoyed together rather than going out to dinner every night. Dave and Charlene cooked Salmon with Crabmeat stuffing while we were in Venice with a salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was delicious, but I didn’t get a picture–I don’t know what I was thinking.
It was another treat for us to have shrimp tacos on the boat after spending the afternoon at the beach.
Glenn & Nancy graciously supplied the recipe so that I can share with others.
1. In a bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add in shrimp and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to give the flavors a chance to marry.
2. Cook shrimp in a skillet on medium heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
3. Use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a small pan, about 2 TBS. Heat over medium high heat. Cook tortillas one at a time until soft, about 30 seconds on each side. Fold over to make a taco shell. As you cook each tortilla, place them on paper towels to absorb any of the oil left over.
4. Spoon 5 shrimp into each taco shell, top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cilantro lime cream.
5. Serve
Ingredients: 1/2 cup sour cream, 4 TBS chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 tsp cumin, zest and juice from 2 limes, salt to taste.
Stir all ingredients together in a bowl and use to top the tacos.
Yummy!
