Today’s Recipe: Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest creation: Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos. The combination of succulent shrimp, creamy coconut sauce, and a kick of spice is perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy night in. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • mixing bowl

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, chili powder, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked shrimp back to the saucepan. Stir to coat the shrimp in the creamy coconut sauce. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

While the shrimp is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable.

To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the coconut shrimp mixture onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Serve these Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos hot and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors with a hint of heat!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some shredded coconut on top of the tacos for an added crunch and extra coconut flavor. It will take your tacos to the next level!

I hope you give these Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos a try and make them your own by adding your favorite toppings. Happy cooking!
