Shrimp Tacos

Share

I’ve seen a recipe for shrimp tacos floating around in a couple of different spots. I made it a few weeks ago and they were so yummy. I decided to make them again and change a few things up. These shrimp tacos have quickly become a family favorite for a fresh summer dinner. They are unbelievably delicious and I can always find great deals on shrimp at Aldi making this an affordable option as well!

These shrimp tacos with a yogurt sauce are beyond amazing! They are the perfect summer dinner option!

First I whipped up this cilantro lime yogurt sauce and let it sit. It’s greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest and salt & pepper and is very similar to the yogurt sauce for my grilled veggie sandwiches.

Next, I seasoned up a pound of raw shrimp with salt, pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper and let it sit for a bit.

While that was sitting, I heated some small corn tortillas on dry skillet, just to brown them a bit.

Finally, I dressed some spinach with olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.

Cook the shrimp for about 5 minutes just until cooked through.  Now, just assemble everything and enjoy!

Here is the recipe: (adapted from this one)

Shrimp Tacos

1 lb uncooked, devained shrimp (medium or large)
6 oz. greek yogurt, plain
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup shredded spinach
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lime
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbs olive oil
small corn tortillas.

Mix yogurt, juice and zest from lime, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.  Season shrimp with cumin, cayenne and salt and pepper. (cut shrimp in smaller pieces if desired). Heat corn tortillas on dry skillet until slightly browned. Heat 2 Tbs olive oil in skillet on medium heat. Cook shrimp until opaque, about 5 minutes. Don’t over cook or they will be rubbery! Dress spinach in 1 Tbs olive oil, 1 Tbs lime juice and salt and pepper.  Put everything together on tortillas and enjoy!

Have you tried your hand at making shrimp tacos? You’ve gotta try this one!

And if you’re wondering where you can get your hands on it, you’ll have to put in a LOT of labor like our friend Meg from @RoostRamble did! The girl cut and sanded over 300 plywood triangles to install! She had a vision, made it happen and has completely won us over which is why she’s our I Spy Modern DIY feature and co-host this week! Let’s give her a round of applause!! It was so much fun to be a part of #ispymoderndiy last week!

Instagram post 2170610615735733568_317792620 This week is all about finishing touches (like finally deciding on pillows for the bed) and a few super last minute DIY projects to finish before the big ORC reveal! 💪🏻My DIY art above the bed is still my favorite thing about our bedroom so far which is funny because I kept doubting myself when I was creating it. I am BEYOND honored to be featured this for #ispymoderndiy this week for my color block art!🧡 A big thank you to last week’s winner Carrie! @dreamgreendiy

Instagram post 2156780581210428094_317792620 @oneroomchallenge week 3 progress has been pretty slow because my daughter had surgery to have her tonsils removed! However, she’s recovering well and I’m enjoying this DIY mid century modern bench that we made for our bedroom. Link to the tutorial is in my profile!
