Description
This easy shrimp tacos recipe is perfect when you don’t have much time to cook! They’re ready from start to finish in about 30 minutes, and the seasoning is irresistible.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound medium shrimp
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 8–10 medium tortillas (flour or corn)
- Toppings: sour cream, salsa, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice
Instructions
- Step: Prepare your shrimp. If they’re frozen, run them under cool water until they’re thawed. Peel them and remove the tails.
- Step: Get your toppings ready.
- Step: Add the shrimp to a skillet along with the olive oil and spices. Cook over medium-high heat until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, flipping/stirring them occasionally (approx. 5-6 minutes). Add salt & pepper as needed.
- Step: Assemble your tacos as desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Medium to large shrimp work well. Taco seasoning can be used as a substitute for the individual spices. Flour tortillas can be warmed in foil at 375F, and corn tortillas can be warmed in a skillet or on a gas stove flame.
