Spicy Shrimp Tacos

Instructions

For the avocado salsa

combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Add additional tablespoons of water if too thick. You want the salsa to be thin enough to slowly drizzle off a spoon. Consistency should be similar to creamy ranch dressing.

For the shrimp tacos

Prepare all your shrimp taco toppings and set aside. Mix the dry rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Mix and set aside.

Remove the tails from the shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel. Season all over liberally with salt. Add the dry rub and toss until the shrimp are fully coated. They should be heavily seasoned.

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet or pan. Once warm, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and no longer transparent. If using larger or jumbo shrimp they may take a little longer.

Serve tacos with warm/toasted tortillas. Fill with a small handful of cabbage, 3-4 shrimp, chopped cilantro, and a nice drizzle of avocado salsa. Squeeze a lime wedge over each taco before eating. See note below on toasting corn tortillas.
