Today’s Special: Spicy Shrimp Tacos

Growing up in a coastal town, seafood has always held a special place in my heart. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for spicy shrimp tacos that perfectly captures the flavors of summer. This dish is a fusion of bold spices, fresh ingredients, and a touch of heat that will leave your taste buds craving more.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 400g shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 100g red cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 1 jalapeno (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 lime (cut into wedges)
  • Spices: cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs
  • knife
  • cutting board

Start by seasoning the shrimp with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder in a mixing bowl. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.

While the shrimp cooks, warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with shredded red cabbage, diced avocado, spicy shrimp, jalapeno slices, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.

Once your tacos are assembled, serve them hot and enjoy the vibrant mix of textures and flavors. The combination of the tender shrimp, crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado, and spicy jalapeno is sure to delight your palate.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 113g, and you can expect each serving to be around 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the shrimp in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to meld and infuse into the shrimp fully.

I hope you give these spicy shrimp tacos a try and add your own twist to make them even more delicious. Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your taste preferences and enjoy a taste of summer in every bite!
