🔥 Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Crema 🌮 Growing up in California, tacos have always been a huge part of my diet. They’re simple, versatile, and can take on any flavor profile you throw at them. Shrimp tacos are one of my favorites—they’re fresh, full of flavor and texture, and satisfying without being too heavy.
🦐 Step 1: Prep the Shrimp✔ Use large shrimp (21-30 count per pound or bigger) for the best grilling results. ✔ Peel & devein the shrimp, then rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. 🔥 Step 2: Make the Lime Butter Marinade This butter-based marinade keeps the shrimp juicy and packed with flavor. ✔ In a bowl, mix:
✔ Set aside while you prep everything else. 🌮 Step 3: Heat the Tortillas✔ Warm corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 15-20 seconds per side. ✔ Keep them warm in a covered container or wrapped in foil. 🔥 Step 4: Grill the Shrimp✔ If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for an hour to prevent burning. ✔ Grill shrimp over direct medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, just until they turn white with a pinkish exterior. ✔ DO NOT OVERCOOK! Overcooked shrimp get rubbery, so pull them off the grill as soon as they’re done. ✔ Baste with remaining lime butter after flipping for extra flavor. ✔ Pro Tip: For larger shrimp, cut them in half before adding them to tacos for a better bite! 🌿 Step 5: Make the Cilantro Lime Crema This creamy, zesty sauce takes your shrimp tacos to the next level. ✔ In a bowl, mix:
