Skinny Lemon Hibiscus Margarita
Quick & Delicious Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Crema
Ingredients:
8 small flour tortillas
24 shrimp, tails removed
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cajun seasoning
6 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 cup lettuce, shredded
1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
1 large avocado, sliced
Cilantro & lime wedges for serving
Cilantro Lime Crema:
1 small avocado
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Large handful of fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1 garlic clove
Salt to taste
Method:
Start by making the Cilantro Lime Crema. Add all of the ingredients into a blender and combine until smooth and creamy. Set Aside.
In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the shrimp, followed by the cajun seasoning and minced garlic. When the shrimp starts turning pink, flip and allow them to cook on the other side. This usually takes a few minutes per side.
Heat the flour tortillas over the stove top or in the microwave. You can now start building your tacos! Start by adding the cilantro lime crema onto the tortillas, followed by the shredded lettuce, shredded purple cabbage, fresh avocado and cajun shrimp.
Feel free to top with fresh cilantro and extra cilantro lime crema and serve with fresh lime wedges! ENJOY 🙂
