These shrimp tacos are a delightful combination of zesty shrimp, fresh vegetables, and a creamy chipotle sauce, all wrapped in warm tortillas.
Marinate the shrimp in a bowl with minced garlic and the juice of one lime for 20 minutes.
Marinating the shrimp enhances its flavor and keeps it tender during cooking.
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle chiles, cumin, and the juice of half a lime to make the sauce.
Adjust the amount of chipotle chiles to control the spiciness of the sauce.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to maintain its juicy texture.
Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds.
Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor.
Assemble the tacos by layering shrimp, cabbage, tomato, avocado, and the chipotle sauce on each tortilla.
Arrange the toppings evenly for a balanced bite in every taco.
Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.
Serve with a side of salsa or lime wedges for added zest.
