Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings (12 tacos); 3 cups salsa

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds medium (21-25 count) shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails off
2 limes, sliced, plus the juice of 2 limes (about 2 tablespoons)
1 medium red onion, sliced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced
1 cup diced fresh pineapple, 1/2-inch dice
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
One 15-ounce jar cactus, rinsed, patted dry and diced (about 1 cup), such as Dona Maria Nopalitos Tender Cactus
1 red jalapeno, minced, seeds optional
1 medium ripe mango, 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon dried epazote
Salt
3/4 cup Mexican crema
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
Zest and juice of 2 limes
12 corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Place the shrimp, limes and onions in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the oil, salt, cloves, lime juice and chipotle in a small bowl. Pour over the shrimp in the bag and seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  • For the tropical salsa: Meanwhile, combine the pineapple, avocado, cactus, jalapenos and mangoes in a medium bowl. Add the cilantro, vinegar, oil and epazote and toss to combine. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • For assembly: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Place the shrimp on the grill over direct heat and cook, turning once, until they are charred and the flesh is pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the cooked shrimp to the salsa and toss to combine. Sprinkle with salt. To serve, whisk together the crema, adobo, lime zest and lime juice in a small bowl. Build the tacos starting with a corn tortilla, add 4 to 5 shrimp, 1/4 cup tropical salsa, a drizzle of the crema mixture and some cilantro leaves.

SHRIMP TACOS

I got the idea for these shrimp tacos from a favorite restaurant. The shrimp is sauteed in honey butter, topped with a delicious mango salsa, and wrapped in a tortilla. It tastes worth a million bucks yet is so simple. Everyone will be begging for more.
