Crispy Air Fryer Shrimp Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 pound extra large shrimp (16-20 per lb.), shell on, deveined
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 (5 ounce) package finely chopped lettuce
  • 6 (6 inch) tortillas, warmed
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 bunch chopped green onions, white parts only
  • 3 tablespoons crema con sal (salted Mexican-style sour cream)
  • 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine vodka, freshly squeezed orange juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried coriander, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, and a pinch of heat from cayenne pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add succulent shrimp and let it sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
2
Heat an air fryer to a scorching 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes, preparing it for the shrimp's transformation.
3
Discard the excess marinade and air-fry the shrimp for 6 minutes, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior.
4
Divide the chopped salad among tortillas. Add a sprinkle of cilantro, diced bell pepper, and the white, pungent parts of the green onion. If desired, chop the cooked shrimp into smaller pieces and add them to the tacos. Finish with a dollop of crema con sal and a sprinkle of cheese.
