Instructions:
Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink, opaque, and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.
Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp cooks, warm corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or wrap them in foil and heat in a low oven (300°F/150°C) for 5 minutes.
Assemble Tacos: Fill warm tortillas with cooked shrimp.
Garnish & Serve: Add fresh cilantro, lime juice, or your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
Serving Suggestions: Pair with salsa, shredded cabbage, cheese, avocado, sour cream, or a drizzle of chipotle mayo.
Make it a Bowl: Skip the tortillas and serve shrimp over rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
Storage & Reheating: Store cooked shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes.
