Description

Delicious shrimp tacos bursting with flavor, featuring marinated shrimp, crisp veggies, and a creamy avocado crema.


Ingredients

  • 450g raw shrimp
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon coriander (ground or fresh)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • Fresh coriander (cilantro) for garnish
  • 4-6 flour tortillas
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 small ripe avocado
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix raw shrimp with paprika, coriander, garlic, and olive oil. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. While the shrimp is cooking, prepare the avocado crema by blending plain Greek yoghurt, avocado, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Warm flour tortillas in a dry pan.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked shrimp on the tortillas, topping with shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and fresh cilantro.
  6. Drizzle with avocado crema and serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender. Customize toppings based on personal preference.
