3 Tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic , minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)

24 medium shrimp (about 1/2 lb), raw, peeled and deveined
Wooden skewers

Shrimp marinade:
1 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic , minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon lime juice
8 (6-inch) Old El Paso flour tortillas

Toppings: chopped red cabbage , crumbled Cojita or feta cheese

Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the avocado salsa and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Preheat grill to medium high heat.

In a large bowl, combine shrimp marinade ingredients. Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Let shrimp marinate while grill is heating. Don’t let it sit too long or the lime juice will start to cook the shrimp.

Thread the shrimp on the wooden skewers. Grill 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp are not opaque. You can also cook these on the stove in the skillet if you don't have a grill.

Warm tortillas on the grill or in the microwave.

Assemble tacos by placing some chopped cabbage and 3 warm shrimp in each taco with avocado salsa on top. Top with Cojita or feta cheese. Serve with lime slices.

Recipe Notes:
Soak the wooden skewers in water ahead of time to prevent burning.
If you like corn tortillas you can use these here as well.
For even more spice add some red pepper flakes!

Shrimp Boil Foil Packs
Author: Tiffany
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 50 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 ears of corn on the cob, husked
1/2 pound andouille sausage
1 pound baby red potatoes OR baby yellow potatoes
3 tablespoons old bay seasoning OR homemade seasoning (see note)
salt and pepper, to taste
3 teaspoons minced garlic
juice of 1/2 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
3 tablespoons, melted + 1/2 cup butter, divided
chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Instructions:
Chop corn into thirds, then chop each third in half lengthwise. Chop potatoes into 2 inch pieces. Boil corn and potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl combine shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. Stir together melted 3 tablespoons butter, Old Bay seasoning, garlic, juice from half a lemon, and salt and pepper to taste and pour over shrimp, sausage, and veggies. Stir to coat.

Divide between four 12x12 inch sheets of aluminum foil. Fold edges of foil up around the food to create a closed packet.

Cook on preheated grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes on the second side. Alternately, you can bake the packets at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until corn is tender and shrimp are pink and fully cooked.

While packets are cooking, melt remaining butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, continue to stir gently over medium heat for 3-4 minutes longer until color changes from pale yellow to a golden amber (but be careful not to burn it).

Serve shrimp boil packs topped with chopped parsley, lemon wedges for squeezing, and browned butter for drizzling over the top or dipping.

Notes

Homemade Old Bay Seasoning: whisk together 1 tablespoon celery salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/8 teaspoon each allspice, cloves, and a pinch of ground ginger.
