Today’s Unique Creation: Cilantro-Lime Shrimp Tacos

As the weather warms up and summer is just around the corner, I find myself craving fresh, zesty flavors that remind me of sunny days and outdoor gatherings. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Cilantro-Lime Shrimp Tacos. This dish is perfect for a light and satisfying meal that’s bursting with flavor.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

  • Fresh shrimp (300g, peeled and deveined)
  • Fresh cilantro (a small bunch, chopped)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Minced garlic (2 cloves)
  • Ripe avocado (1, diced)
  • Purple cabbage (150g, shredded)
  • Corn tortillas (6)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare your kitchen tools:

  • Skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Citrus juicer
  • Spatula

Start by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp and season with salt and pepper.

While the shrimp are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable. Set them aside and keep warm.

To assemble the tacos, spoon some shrimp onto each tortilla. Top with diced avocado, shredded purple cabbage, and chopped cilantro. Feel free to squeeze additional lime juice over the tacos for an extra burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 750g, with enough to make 3 servings. Each serving contains around 250g and is approximately 300 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to marinate the shrimp in the garlic, lime juice, and cilantro for an hour before cooking. This will infuse the shrimp with even more flavor and make them extra delicious.

I hope you enjoy making and tasting these Cilantro-Lime Shrimp Tacos as much as I do. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings and make them your own. Happy cooking!
