Today’s Special: Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos

Hey, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a fresh and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for a casual dinner party or a cozy night in. These Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos are bursting with tropical flavors and will transport your taste buds to a sunny beach. Let’s dive in and create this delicious dish together!

Ingredients:

  • 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 8 small tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs
  • grater
  • knife

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes.

While the shrimp are cooking, warm up the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced red onion and cook until slightly caramelized.

Now it’s time to assemble your tacos! Fill each warm tortilla with a generous portion of the coconut lime shrimp, caramelized red onions, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with extra lime zest and cilantro leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve your Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos hot and enjoy the tropical flavors with every bite!

Approximate total weight of the cooked dish: 1200g
Number of servings: 4
Average weight of one serving: 300g

Clever Tip:

To kick up the flavor even more, try marinating the shrimp in a mixture of coconut milk, lime juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking. This will infuse the shrimp with even more tropical goodness!

I hope you give these Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos a try soon. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or add a spicy kick with some jalapenos. Have fun in the kitchen and make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
