Grilled Shrimp Tacos

In the mood for some summer seafood? Try these grilled shrimp tacos for a fiesta in your mouth. They are easily adjustable to match specific appetites. Pair them with a little aioli and Mexican coleslaw for the ideal shrimp street taco.

What you’ll need

1 avocado (sliced into wedges)

1/2 pound raw shrimp

2 cups Mexican coleslaw

3-4 tablespoons spicy aioli (we suggest adding a dash of cayenne pepper.)

2-3 Roma tomatoes (diced)

1/2 tablespoon Colorado salt

8-10 white corn tortillas

Salt & pepper

Makes 4-5 servings

We suggest making the coleslaw and aioli before cooking the shrimp for your tacos. Place them in the refrigerator until your ready to serve.

Place a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. While the pan and oil are heating up wash and peel the shrimp. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet with a 1/2 tablespoon of Colorado salt and saute until the shrimp are cooked all the way through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

If you prefer to grill the shrimp, preheat your grill while preparing the shrimp. Toss them in a bowl with the Colorado salt and oil, then grill until they are cooked all the way through, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Plate 2 tortillas per serving. Top each tortilla with the Mexican coleslaw, diced tomatoes, grilled shrimp, and 1-2 avocado wedges. Drizzle a little spicy aioli on top, a squeeze of lime, and enjoy!
