Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 19

24 medium prawns, peeled and deveined
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 small corn tortillas
oil for frying
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
sliced avocado
cilantro lime sour cream (recipe follows)
For the Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream:
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cumin
juice and zest from one lime
salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper (if using). Add in shrimp and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to give the flavors a chance to marry. Cook shrimp in a skillet on medium heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and cover to keep warm. Use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a small pan, about 2 tablespoons. 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. Stir all ingredients for the Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream together in a bowl. Spoon 4 shrimp into each taco shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cilantro-lime sour cream. Serve. I served these with black beans and chips and habanero salsa. It was the perfect meal to enjoy on our patio while sipping on ice cold coronas and watching the sun go down.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover shrimp. They're also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Great recipe! I made a few minor changes, like using avocado oil instead of olive oil, and it still turned out great.
