Ingredients

Ingredients for the Shrimp

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 lbs large wild shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • juice of 1/2-1 lime to taste

Additional Ingredients for Shrimp Tacos (adapt to suit your tastes)

  • 1 batch 12 of our Healthy Whole Wheat & Chia Tortillas
  • 1 pkg pre-shredded green and purple cabbage
  • 12-16 oz fresh guacamole
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 6 oz pico de gallo
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

To Prepare the Shrimp

  • Melt butter in a large skillet, then add garlic, cilantro, lime zest, salt and pepper and saute for about a minute.
  • Add shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until done.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice over all, and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.

To Assemble the Tacos

  • Layer listed ingredients in each tortilla as desired. I added guacamole and sour cream first, then the cabbages, pico de gallo, mango, shrimp and cilantro.

Notes

1. The shrimp in this recipe could easily be replaced with sliced or cubed chicken breasts.
2. To make gluten free, use corn tortillas.
3. To make grain free, build a taco bowl with extra cabbage and desired amounts of all other ingredients except tortillas.
