Shrimp Tacos

Tonight's shrimp taco recipe is based off of a recipe I found on Pinterest via my sister's repinning. The original recipe came from www.cleananddelicious.com if you would like to check it out. I changed it up just a bit, but mostly took their advice on how to make a special lime/cilantro sauce for the tacos. Here it goes...

INGREDIENTS

• Corn Tortillas
• Lettuce- shredded
• Tomatoes- chopped into small pieces
• Shrimp- 1/2 - 1 pound (tails removed and cut into small pieces)
• Optional- Salt/Pepper/Lemon Seasoning

For the Sauce:

• 1 cup (6 oz) Greek Yogurt
• About 1/4 cup cilantro
• Juice from 1 lime
• Chili Powder (about 1/2 teaspoon)

DIRECTIONS

This recipe is quite simple once you have the lettuce shredded, tomatoes chopped up, and all of the ingredients nicely layed out and ready to go. Before you start heating anything up, the sauce can be made simply by mixing up all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside until you're ready to start assembling your tacos.

Next, heat up each tortilla on the stovetop until brown spots begin to appear. Set aside and cover with a paper towel until you are ready to assemble.

Finally, heat up the shrimp. I started with a bit of vegetable oil in the skillet (olive oil would have been preferred). I mixed in the shrimp pieces along with a dash of chili powder and a lemon-pepper seasoning. They only took about 1-2 minutes to cook.

Once you have the tortillas, sauce, and shrimp ready... it's time to dig in and assemble your first taco!


COMMENTS
The sauce easily could be made with sour cream, but neither my husband nor I can stand the taste of sour cream. Plus... the Greek yogurt is much, MUCH healthier. I'm still not totally thrilled with the taste of Greek yogurt, though, so I'm working on coming up with another alternative.
