Easy Shrimp Tacos
This easy shrimp tacos recipe is perfect when you don't have much time to cook! They're ready from start to finish in about 30 minutes, and the seasoning is irresistible.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp see note
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 8-10 medium tortillas flour or corn
- Toppings (optional to taste): sour cream, salsa, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, etc.
Instructions
- Prepare your shrimp. If they're frozen, run them under cool water until they're thawed. Peel them and remove the tails.
- Meanwhile, get your toppings ready.
- Add the shrimp to a skillet along with the olive oil and spices. Cook over medium-high heat until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, flipping/stirring them occasionally (approx. 5-6 minutes). Add salt & pepper as needed.
- Assemble your tacos as desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Anything from medium to large shrimp will work! I typically keep bags of 31-40/pound count size shrimp in my freezer that are perfect for these.
- You may use taco seasoning instead of the suggested spices if that's easier for you.
- To warm flour tortillas all at once, wrap them in foil and warm in a 375F oven while you're getting everything else ready. I warm corn tortillas in a skillet or directly on the flame of my gas stove (carefully!).
