Shrimp Tacos with Chipotle Sauce
Yields 2 Servings
Total Prep & Cook Time - 25 minutes
*Vegetarian Option - Substitute Shrimp for Grilled Zucchini Cubes
Ingredients:
| 6 Small Corn Tortillas
| 1/2 to 3/4 lb Shrimp (Medium-sized about 3-4 per taco)
| 1 Avocado
| Purple Cabbage
| Greek Yogurt (Plain) - My favorite, Fage Total Plain 0%
| 2 Limes
| Salt & Pepper
| 1/2 Tbsp Butter (Unsalted)
Chipotle Sauce:
| 1-2 Adobo Chipotles (depending on spice preference)
| 1 Garlic Clove (small) minced
| Juice of 1 Lime
| 1/4 Tsp Cumin
| 1 Cup of Greek Yogurt
Method:
-
Make the sauce first. Use 1 or 2 Adobo Chipotles (2 will be quite spicy!) and cut them open length-wise and remove seeds.
-
Then slice chipotles into smaller pieces.
-
Using a food processor (I love using my Ninja), combine chopped chipotles, 1 cup yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, lime juice and blend. Add more yogurt if too spicy. Set aside.
-
Slice avocado and cabbage into strips and set aside.
-
Slice lime into wedges and set aside.
-
Prepare shrimp by removing shell and tail. Pat shrimp dry and season with fresh cracked pepper and sea salt.
-
Heat medium-sized skillet to medium-high heat with 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
-
Once hot and melted, cook shrimp for 3 minutes each side or until browned nicely and cooked through.
-
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet on med-high heat and grill the corn tortillas. You may want to add a tiny bit of oil, but not too much! This heats them up to prevent tearing and adds some grill marks.
-
Finally, it's assembly time!
-
Place about 3 shrimp per taco and top with cabbage and avocado. Top with chipotle sauce, fresh cut lime wedge and serve!
