How to Make Simple Shrimp Tacos
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 cup of salsa verde (your favorite store-bought or homemade), 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet.
- Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque (about 5-7 minutes), and most of the liquid is absorbed. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the shrimp mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Warm your corn or flour tortillas according to package instructions. Fill each tortilla with the shrimp mixture.
- Fold or roll the tacos and secure with a toothpick.
- For an extra crispy taco, you can lightly fry them in hot oil for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and extra cilantro.
