These shrimp tacos are inspired by the fresh and zesty flavors of coastal Mexican cuisine. Sauce Pantry’s Jalapeño Verde Sauce brings a spicy kick to the perfectly cooked shrimp, paired with crunchy cabbage and creamy avocado for a refreshing taco experience.


Pro Tips:

  • Perfect Shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. They're done when they turn opaque and pink.
  • Warm Tortillas: Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or over an open flame to make them soft and pliable.

Things to Watch Out For:

  • Balancing Spice: If the Jalapeño Verde Sauce is too spicy for your taste, balance it with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
  • Avoid Overfilling: Keep your tacos easy to handle by not overloading them with shrimp and toppings.

Process:

  1. Cook the Shrimp:

    • Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over them.
  2. Warm the Tortillas:

    • Warm your tortillas on a dry skillet or over an open flame for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
  3. Assemble the Tacos:

    • Place a few shrimp in each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of Sauce Pantry Jalapeño Verde Sauce.
  4. Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra zesty finish.
