This recipe for shrimp tacos comes together so quickly and makes a delicious weeknight meal. Featuring seasoned shrimp and a vibrant, creamy green sauce, topped with fresh cabbage, avocado, and queso fresco.
For the shrimp: Season the frozen wild caught shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook the seasoned shrimp on a pan with a little olive oil for about 5 minutes, being careful not to overcook to prevent chewiness.
To make the green sauce: Blend the juice of 2 limes, 1 avocado, 2 cloves garlic, 1 small jalapeño, a small bunch of fresh cilantro, salt, pepper, and a little water in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth.
To assemble the tacos: Serve the cooked shrimp and green sauce in tacos. Top with a little cabbage, avocado slices, and crumbled queso fresco cheese.
