Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a new recipe that’s perfect for a sunny summer day. These zesty coconut-lime shrimp tacos are a burst of tropical flavors that will transport you to a beachside paradise. The combination of succulent shrimp, creamy coconut, and tangy lime is truly a match made in culinary heaven. Let’s dive into the details of this mouthwatering dish!

Ingredients:

• 500g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 400ml coconut milk
• 2 limes (juiced and zested)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 red chili (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 corn tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• mixing bowl
• grater
• tongs

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, and red chili. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Stir in the chopped cilantro and allow the flavors to meld together for another minute.

Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

Once everything is ready, assemble your tacos by placing a generous spoonful of the coconut-lime shrimp mixture onto each tortilla. Feel free to garnish with extra cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or a dollop of creamy avocado for a burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1250g. This recipe makes 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 312g. As for the calorie count, each serving is estimated to be around 350 calories.

Here’s a clever tip to make these tacos even more delicious: marinate the shrimp in the coconut milk mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking to infuse them with extra flavor.

I hope you give these zesty coconut-lime shrimp tacos a try and put your own unique spin on them. Enjoy the flavors of summer in every bite!
