Directions
- Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, chipotle chili powder, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. - Cook the Shrimp
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and lightly caramelized around the edges. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking. - Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side or microwave them wrapped in a damp towel until soft and pliable. Warm tortillas enhance flavor and prevent cracking. - Assemble the Tacos
Place a small handful of shredded lettuce or cabbage on each tortilla. Add several shrimp on top. Spoon over diced tomatoes or pico de gallo. - Add Finishing Touches
Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco or feta if using, then finish with fresh cilantro. - Serve Immediately
Serve tacos warm with lime wedges on the side. Add sour cream or avocado slices for extra creaminess and balance.
