Chipotle Shrimp Tacos

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TACOS😍

When cooking quick meals, shrimp is my secret weapon. It cooks up in 2-3 minutes and is SO incredibly versatile. These chipotle shrimpys get wrapped in a charred tortilla with creamy avocado mash, mango pico (store bought or homemade, no judgements here) and a flavor bomb chipotle mayo for a flavor packed meal that’s ready in less than 15 minutes. Y’all are gonna love this one!



Serves 1.

Ingredients:

For the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos:

  • 2 corn or flour tortillas

  • 6 large or 8 medium Shrimp

  • 2 tsps avocado oil + 1 tbsp

  • ¼ tsp ancho chili powder

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ avocado, smashed

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • Salt to taste

  • Chopped fresh cilantro for topping

  • Store Bought or homemade mango pico de gallo

For the Chipotle Mayo:

  • 1 tbsp mayo

  • Juice from ½ lime

  • 1 tsp adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)

  • 1-2 tsps hot sauce (I like Valentina)

Homemade Mango Pico:

  • ¼ cup chopped mango

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion

  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 2-3 slices jalapeno chopped

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

  • Salt to taste


Directions:

For the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos:

  • To a bowl, add the shrimp, 2 tsps oil, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and set aside to marinate for a few minutes while you prep the rest of your ingredients.

  • If you are making the mango pico homemade, add the red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to a small bowl first to help mellow out the sharpness of the red onion. Then add in the mango, jalapeno, and cilantro and stir to combine.

  • Make the chipotle mayo by whisking the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt.

  • Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Dry char your tortillas for 30-60 seconds per side and remove.

  • Add in your oil and the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until slightly charred on both sides.

  • Smash some avocado onto your tortillas and squeeze over a little lime juice and a pinch of salt.

  • Top with the shrimp, mango pico, and chipotle mayo. Serve immediately and enjoy!

  • For meal prep, keep each component separate and assemble right before eating.
