Avocado Spicy Shrimp Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 16 (5 inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups tomatillo salsa
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Combine shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp mixture and cook until they turn pink and are fully cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Squeeze a sliver of lime juice over the shrimp.
3
Warm tortillas in an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 seconds on each side. Flip the tortillas and warm them for another 5 to 10 seconds. Stuff the warmed tortillas with the cooked shrimp mixture. Top with a dollop of tomatillo salsa, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro leaves.
