Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers if desired, or place them directly on the grill grates.
  4. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable.
  6. Assemble the tacos by filling each warm tortilla with grilled shrimp.
  7. Top with shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and salsa.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice and spices to your preference.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like diced avocado, pickled onions, or a drizzle of crema.
