SWEET AND SPICY SHRIMP TACOS



Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Tacos image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Finely grated zest from 2 limes
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cups sour cream or Mexican crema
1/4 head cabbage, cored and shredded ( about 4 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Blend the light brown sugar, chili, cumin, paprika, and lime zest together in a medium bowl. Add all but 2 teaspoons of the spice mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Add the shrimp and the olive oil to the bag. Seal the bag and then turn over a couple times to coat the shrimp evenly. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream with the reserved spice blend. Stir in the cabbage and season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Toast the tortillas about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and wrap with foil to keep warm.
  • 4. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt. Grill the shrimp turning once, until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Tuck the shrimp into the warm tortillas with the cabbage, cilantro leaves, and squeeze lime juice over top. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before marinating.
  • Make sure the marinade is well-balanced: The marinade should have a good balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. If the marinade is too sweet, it will overpower the shrimp. If it is too sour, it will make the shrimp tough. And if it is too spicy, it will burn your mouth.
  • Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the shrimp marinate, the more flavor they will absorb. However, do not marinate the shrimp for more than 24 hours, or they will become tough.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly. Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Sweet and spicy marinated shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy marinated shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili pepper flakes. Then, they are grilled or pan-fried until they are cooked through. The result is a shrimp dish that is sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor.
