Shrimp Tacos

These are yummy! Even if you think you don't like fish tacos because they sound weird, you'll like these. I was one of those people and I *love* them. 


Shrimp Tacos

  • 1 lb of frozen shrimp, defrosted, peeled, & deveined


  • 6 oz sour cream


  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro


  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice


  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper


  • 1 package shredded cabbage


  • 8 corn tortillas


  • 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil


  • Salt and pepper to taste



Mix yogurt, cayenne, lime juice, cilantro, & salt in a small bowl, set aside. Cut shrimp into thirds. Sauté in two teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper over medium heat just until done. (I also added a splash of white wine because I had it.)  They cook up in just a few minutes… so be sure to watch them! Heat tortillas over medium heat in a dry skillet until warm and starting to form small brown spots. Build your taco!  Place a scoop of cabbage on the warmed tortillas taco, then top with shrimp, and cilantro sauce. Add salsa and extra cilantro if desired.
