How to Make Shrimp Taco Salad

  1. Remove tails from 1 pound of shrimp.
  2. Place shrimp in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Set aside; this is your salad dressing.
  4. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 corn tortillas, cut into strips, and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning.
  5. Add shrimp to the same skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  6. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups mixed greens, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), cooked shrimp, and tortilla strips.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  8. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) and serve immediately.
