SPICE-RUBBED SHRIMP TACOS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE
Steps:
- For the shrimp: Whisk the cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne together in a small bowl.
- Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the avocado sauce: Combine the avocados, scallions, garlic, lime zest and juice, jalapeno, cilantro, water, vinegar, cumin and salt in a blender. Blend on high for 2 minutes or until a smooth, creamy sauce forms, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed.
- Char the tortillas by holding them with tongs over an open flame until they're warmed and browned in spots. Transfer them to a plate as they're done; cover the tortillas with foil and keep warm.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with oil to prevent sticking. Working in batches, cook the shrimp 1 to 2 minutes per side or until firm and cooked through.
- To serve, place 2 tortillas on a plate and top with some shredded cabbage followed by about 5 shrimp per taco, a drizzle of the avocado sauce, diced tomatoes and hot sauce if using. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, shrimp and fillings. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use the ripest avocados you can find for the creamiest sauce.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or yogurt.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce to brighten up the flavors.
- Top the dish with your favorite garnishes, such as chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or crumbled bacon.
- Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking to prevent them from becoming tough.
