Shrimp Tacos are literally one of my favorite things to create. Let me preface this with, I am not a good cook and I don’t like to cook. So I look for easy, throw together recipes that are not easy to screw up. I also track my macros, so this plays a factor in the meals that I choose. The best part about this particular recipe is that if you do mess it up, it will still taste good so everyone wins.
Shrimp tacos, or tacos in general, are easy dishes for me. Whether you are a working professional clocking 60-70 hours a week, while trying to still keep a clean house and make time for family and friends, OR a mom of 3 kids trying to get meals on the table, be a constant entertainer and make sure that they get to all of their sports and club commitments every day – this recipe is for you.
This recipe serves 2 people and here is what you need:
- 4 Corn tortillas
- 1 Avocado
- Half a bag of shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 16 shrimp)
- Lite moisture mozzerella cheese
- A ‘dash’ of purple onion (to taste)
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- Cilantro (to taste)
- Dash of sale, ground black pepper and garlic powder (For the shrimp)
Shrimp do not take long to cook, so take pot with water, bring it to a boil and dump those suckers in. I usually cook them 5-6 minutes (although most recipes call for 3-4 minutes). Once the shrimp has cooked through, pour the water from the pot and season your shrimp with your salt, black pepper and garlic. I do sometimes season them with Old Bay instead, which is also a solid choice.
Now it’s time to plate your food. Place two corn tortillas on your plate. Then add 4 shrimp to each taco, top it with half of an avocado, cherry tomatoes, purple onions and your mozzarella cheese. Dash a little cilantro on each and you’re good to go!
** Bonus: In the meal below I paired my shrimp tacos with 4 oz of sweet potato. I cut them into slices, placed them on a baking sheet and seasoned them with Apple Pie Seasoning, Splenda and a little olive oil.**
If you are feeding more than 2, just double the recipe and voila! There are a million ways to make tacos, but this combo is one of my favorites, and I hope it becomes one of yours a well.
