Ingredients
For The Shrimp:
1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
1 ripe lime - zest and juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp coarse kosher salt (or sea salt) more or less to taste
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh minced cilantro
1 tbsp brown sugar

For The Tacos:


4 taco tortillas
1 large tomato
1/4 red onion
1/4 cup queso fresco crumbled
1 avocado
lime wedges optional for fresh lime juice

Instructions
1. Remember that if you are using wooden skewers to grill the shrimp, submerge them in
water completely and let them soak for 30-45 minutes.

Marinating shrimp:
1. Make sure to clean and devein shrimp if needed, before marinating. (You can see how to
clean shrimp in our separate post.)
2. Once shrimp is cleaned and deveined, rinse them off and place them into a small mixing
bowl.
3. Add lime juice, lime zest, pressed garlic, oil, cilantro, sugar, and seasoning. Mix well and
set shrimp aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Grilling Shrimp:
1. Prepare and preheat your grill to medium high heat. Make sure the grate is clean before
adding the shrimp.
2. While the grill is preheating, skewer the shrimp onto the wooden skewers but don’t pack
them too tight. Drizzle marinade left in the bowl on top of each shrimp skewer.
3. Spray both sides of the shrimp skewer with some oil and place it on the grill. Cook shrimp
for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on the size of shrimp. Once shrimp turns
completely opaque, it’s ready.
4. After you flip the shrimp, add tortillas to the grill to heat up. Grill them for about a minute
on each side but watch them so they don't burn.
5. Take shrimp and tortillas off the grill and assemble tacos right away.
6. Add 3-5 shrimp to each taco ( depending on the size) and top off with onions, tomatoes,
crumbled queso fresco, avocado, and any other toppings you love.

Notes
If using wooden skewers: Remember that if you are using wooden skewers to grill the
shrimp, submerge them in water completely and let them soak for 30-45 minutes.
Corn or flour tortillas: you can choose to use homemade or store-bought flour or corn
tortillas. Corn tortillas will work if you need to keep this dish gluten free, just check the
packaging.
Additional toppings: The classic simple toppings for these tacos include tomatoes, red
onions, queso fresco, avocados, jalapenos, and fresh lime juice. You can also dice
some cucumbers, bell peppers, other cheeses, and/or fruity salsas like mango
salsa or pineapple salsa. Don't forget the guacamole!
