10 mins prepServes 4
An easy and quick recipe for shrimp tacos or taco salad, featuring succulent sautéed shrimp and a creamy, zesty avocado lime sauce, perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
1. Prepare the shrimp: If the shrimp are large, cut them into chunks. In a shallow bowl, marinate the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or olive oil), 3 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. If using a no-salt seasoning, also add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Cook the shrimp: On medium heat, sauté the marinated shrimp with the marinade until they are cooked through, which takes about 7 minutes.
3. Prepare the Avocado Lime Cream Sauce: Add the peeled and pitted large avocado, 1/4 cup of cilantro, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, the juice from 3 limes, 1 chopped clove of garlic, and a few dashes of Tabasco to a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is smooth.
4. Serve: Serve the cooked shrimp on a salad or with low-carb tortillas, generously topped with the avocado lime cream sauce.
