Today’s Unique Recipe: Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos

As the weather gets warmer, I find myself craving light and refreshing meals that still pack a punch of flavor. That’s why today I’m excited to share my recipe for Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos! These tacos are a fun twist on a classic dish, perfect for a summer gathering or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 6 corn tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and diced jalapeno. Stir the mixture until it’s well combined and simmering, about 3-4 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

While the shrimp are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave. Once the shrimp are done, assemble your tacos by placing a few shrimp in each tortilla, then topping with sliced avocado, red onion, and fresh cilantro.

Serve the Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos with a wedge of lime on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. These tacos are best enjoyed fresh and hot, with all the toppings piled high for a delicious and satisfying meal.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 900g, providing 3 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g and contains approximately 350 calories.

Clever Tip:

For a unique twist, try grilling the shrimp instead of cooking them in the skillet. The smoky flavor will take these tacos to the next level!

I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe for Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos! Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings or add a side of rice and beans for a complete meal. Let me know how it turns out for you!
