Today’s Special: Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos. This dish always takes me back to my tropical vacation in Thailand, where I first discovered the perfect combination of crispy shrimp and creamy coconut. It’s a fun and flavorful meal that’s great for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ or just looking to spice up Taco Tuesday.

Ingredients:

  • 250g of shrimp
  • 200ml of coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, then add in the shrimp. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink and are cooked through.

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the cooked shrimp in the skillet and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

While the shrimp is simmering, heat the corn tortillas in a separate skillet until warm and slightly crispy.

To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the spicy coconut shrimp mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy the tropical flavors!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 133g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top of the tacos for an extra crunch and burst of flavor.

I hope you give these Spicy Coconut Shrimp Tacos a try and make them your own with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
