Grilled Spicy Shrimp Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat.
• Mix the brown sugar, chili, cumin, paprika and lime zest together in a medium bowl. Stir 2 teaspoons of the sugar-spice mixture into the sour cream and set aside. Put the remaining spice mixture in a medium bowl and add the shrimp and olive oil and toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Toss the coleslaw mix with the spiced sour cream until well coated and season with salt and pepper. Toast the tortillas on the grill, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and wrap with foil to keep warm.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the shrimp, flipping once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve the shrimp in the warm tortillas with the slaw, whole cilantro leaves, and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Saute the minced garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes be careful not to burn. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
• 2. Rinse shrimp; pat dry.
• 3. In a resealable plastic bag combine remaining olive oil, garlic, chili powder, and 1/4 tsp salt; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat shrimp. Chill 30 minutes.
• 4. Meanwhile finely shred peel from lime and juice lime. For the lime slaw, in a large bowl combine the lime peel, lime juice, cabbage, jalapeno, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt; set aside.
• 5. In a small bowl combine sour cream and chipotle pepper; set aside.
• 6. Wrap tortillas in foil.
• 7. Thread shrimp on 10-inch metal skewers. Note, if using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes before using.
• 8. On a covered grill, grill tortilla packet directly over medium heat for 5 minutes; turning once. Add shrimp to grill; cook 5 to 8 minutes or until opaque, turning halfway through grilling. Shrimp can also be cooked on the stove-top in a skillet and tortillas can be heated in a 350 degree oven. Remove tortilla packet from grill. Remove shrimp from skewers.
• 9. To serve, spread tortillas with sour cream mixture. Top with lime slaw and shrimp. Sprinkle with cilantro and avocado slices, if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice and 1/8 teaspoon salt; set aside. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic, cumin and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Serve in tortillas with lettuce, yogurt sauce and, if desired, lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the shrimp, chili powder and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the canola oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp is no longer opaque and just cooked through, turning only once, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet with the dripping, using a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon scallions for garnish and add the rest to the skillet. Cook until the scallions are slightly softened, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the beans and a large pinch of salt and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• In a large bowl, stir together the chipotle mayonnaise, lime zest and juice and a large pinch of salt. Add the coleslaw mix and half of the cilantro and stir to combine.
• Serve the shrimp alongside the beans, coleslaw, remaining cilantro, scallions, sour cream or Mexican crema, lime wedges and warm tortillas.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, season shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
• Using 2 bamboo or metal skewers, poke through the top and bottom of the shrimp and push down to the bottom of the skewer.
• Add 3 more shrimp to the same skewer and repeat until all of the shrimp are used.
• Right before you put the shrimp on the grill, brush each skewer with a generous amount of olive oil, to prevent sticking.
• Grill over high heat for 3 minutes, brush the top side with more olive oil, flip, and let cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Remove from skewers & set aside for taco assembly.
• In a bowl, combine all creamy cilantro sauce ingredients. Stir well to combine.
• In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, red cabbage, and minced jalapeño. Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the cabbage, saving the other half for extra sauce to put on the tacos.
• Assemble the tacos on corn tortillas. Add the cabbage mixture, followed by the shrimp. Top with the creamy cilantro sauce, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
• Enjoy!
