Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos
Prep time 25 mins
Cook time 5 mins
Total time 30 mins
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients:
For the Chipotle Lime Shrimp:
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons minced chipotle in adobo (seeds removed for less heat)
2 cloves garlic, minced
zest of 1 lime
salt and pepper
1 lb shrimp, defrosted, peeled and deveined
For the Chipotle Lime Crema:
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 tablespoon minced chipotle in adobo (seeds removed for less heat)
1 tablespoon lime juice
zest of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, minced*
For the Tacos:
8 White Corn Tortillas
shredded cabbage
diced avocado
cilantro
crumbled Queso Fresco
Instructions:
In a large ziptop plastic bag, combine the lime juice, olive oil, honey, chipotle in adobo, garlic and lime. Season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for about 20 minutes, squishing the bag around every few minutes to make sure the shrimp is thoroughly covered in the marinade.
While the shrimp is marinating, make the crema. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, chipotle in adobo, lime juice, zest and garlic. Mix well.
When the shrimp is finished marinating, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the shrimp and add the shrimp to the hot skillet. Cook until the shrimp is no longer opaque on the bottom side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and cook the second side, about another minute. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
To assemble the tacos, top each tortilla with some of the shrimp, cabbage, avocado, cilantro and Queso Fresco. Drizzle some of the crema on each taco and serve.
Notes
*If you don’t like the flavor of raw garlic, substitute in 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.
