Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
80 small shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled (remove tail shells) and deveined
Cooking spray
2 medium ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
4 scallions, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves
Zest and juice of 2 limes
1 jalapeno, stem removed, pepper split in half with seeds left in
1 cup tightly packed cilantro leaves
1/2 cup cold water
3 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Sixteen 5-inch yellow corn super-soft tortillas, charred and kept warmed
3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
4 Campari tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Hot sauce, for drizzling, optional
2 limes, cut into wedges

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.

Conclusion:

Shrimp in Avocado Cream Sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. This dish is also very versatile, as you can add other vegetables or proteins, such as chicken or tofu.
