How to Make Honey Lime Shrimp Tacos

  1. Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30-60 seconds per side, or until warm and pliable. Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them brown better.
  3. Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  4. Make the honey-lime sauce: Stir in lime juice, honey, and Mexican seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the shrimp.
  5. Prepare the chipotle crema: In a small bowl, combine sour cream and chipotle adobo sauce. Stir until well combined. Adjust the amount of adobo sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
  6. Assemble the tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with honey-lime shrimp. Top with your favorite garnishes and a dollop of chipotle crema.
