Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 c. cilantro (leaves only, stems removed, not packed)
1/2 c. canola oil
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/4 t. cayenne
juice from 2 lemons (or 3 T bottled)
2 lbs. Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails (12-25 per lb.)
Serve with
24 corn tortillas
Sliced avocado wedges
Bottled pico de gallo
Crumbled cotija cheese
12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 mins.
Optional: purchased or homemade coleslaw, tossed with 1/2 c. minced cilantro
Cilantro and Lemon or Lime wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Light and preheat medium grill. Combine first five ingredients in the (hopefully Kitchenaid!)blender and whirl until garlic is minced and marinade is emulsified (app. 10-15 pulses) and pour into a 1 gallon Ziploc bag. Add shrimp (thawed if frozen) and shake gently to combine. Chill for 30 minutes. As shrimp is chilling, prepare garnishes and toast tortillas on lightly oiled pan. Rest on oven-proof plate covered in tinfoil stored in the oven set on Warm or 200 degrees. When grill is medium hot, string 6 shrimp on each bamboo skewer and grill until pink and well done, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Serve skewers of shrimp with warm tortillas, crumbled cotija cheese and avocado slices, sqeezing fresh limes over the tacos when serving.

These tacos were delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the verde sauce was creamy and tangy. I will definitely be making these again soon.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but they were still very good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the verde sauce was flavorful and creamy. I would definitely make these again, but I would use less chili pepper next time.
