Have you ever been in a situation where you buy something for 1 recipe and have lots of left overs you have to finish?
We brought a bag of avocado for something but only needed 1, so I had to think of a way to use the rest.
I had a package of frozen shrimp in the freezer so I decided to make tacos for dinner.
Shrimp is a great choice when you need a fast meal because it marinates in a very short period of time and it cooks very fast.
Shrimp Tacos
Makes 12 tacos Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 5 minsIngredients
- 1 package of Shrimp (400g of shelled and deveined shrimp)
- 1/2 TBSP Mango Chipotle Seasoning
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 package of taco shells (12 hard or soft shells)
- 1.5 cups of shredded lettuce
- 2 avocado
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp diced red onion
- salsa
Directions
- The first thing to do is rinse the shrimp under cold water and marinate it with the Mango Chipotle seasoning.
- While the shrimp is marinating, wash the lettuce and cut into strips.
- Grate the Cheese
- Dice 1/5 of a red onion
- Cut an avocado in half and pull it apart. Remove the seed. I like to cut the avocado while it's still in the shell before I cut it out. It's easier to dice up that way. So while it's in the shell, I made 4 cuts vertically and 6-7 cuts horizontally. Then I take my knife and using the hole the seed left behind, I cut out the blocks of avocado from there. To remove avocado from shell, take either a spoon or your knife and slice along the edge.
- 10-15 mins should have passed since you first started washing and cutting things. This is perfect time to cook your shrimp.
- Heat up your pan to medium high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add oil and the garlic. Stir until you smell that garlic smell. Once you smell that nice cook garlic smell, add the shrimp.
- Stir the shrimp around to ensure even cooking.Once all the shrimp changes color and shrinks a little it's cooked. Should be less then 5 mins.
Then the fun begins to assemble your taco :)
