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

• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

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!
