Description

Delicious shrimp tacos topped with a creamy cilantro-lime sauce and feta cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound medium raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 1 jalapeño (seeds removed)
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust based on spice preference)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 7 to 9 flour or corn tortillas (4-inch)
  • Guacamole (optional)
  • ½ cup green cabbage
  • ¼ cup feta cheese
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Cilantro (chopped additional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and dried basil. Use this mixture to thoroughly coat all the shrimp.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shrimp, lime juice, and soy sauce. Cook the shrimp until pink on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a food processor or blender, blend together the sour cream, buttermilk, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas and then start with a layer of homemade or store-bought guacamole and spread it on the bottom center of each tortilla. Then layer it with a small bunch of green cabbage followed by the cooked shrimp. Drizzle some of the cilantro-lime sauce over each taco and then top with a squeeze of lime juice, feta cheese, and chopped cilantro.
  5. Plate and enjoy!
