Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds large frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon grated Valencia orange zest
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
20 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 avocados, thinly sliced, or to taste
1 red onion, finely diced, or to taste
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste
1 jalapeno pepper, diced, or to taste
2 limes, cut into wedges, or as needed

Steps:

  • Rinse defrosted shrimp under cold water, drain, and pat dry.
  • Combine shrimp, chili powder, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coriander, and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Heat olive oil in nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
  • While shrimp cooks, prepare crema by whisking together sour cream, zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cilantro, garlic powder, and 1 pinch each of salt and black pepper.
  • Heat corn tortillas in either a pan or on a griddle over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to let them burn. Set aside.
  • Assemble tacos by spreading 1 teaspoon crema across each tortilla, adding 3 or 4 shrimp, 2 slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Serve with sliced limes to squeeze on top and extra crema on the side.
