Tender pieces of shrimp with a creamy cilantro topping and wrapped up in a crisp taco shell. These Shrimp Tacos with a Cilantro Lime Topping are a must make!
Make the shrimp marinade by adding the lime juice, dried chili, garlic, cumin, chili powder and salt to a medium bowl. Stir well to combine flavours. Add the shrimp, coat well and refrigerate.
Make the cilantro lime topping by combining the Greek yogurt, juice and zest of the lime, garlic, spring onions, cilantro and salt together. Stir well and set aside.
Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet set over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook over a high heat, stirring regularly for about 7 minutes or until cooked throughout. Remove from heat.
In another large skillet, preferably cast iron, set over high heat, add as many taco wraps as you can without having them overlap. Heat them for about a minute one each side. Remove from heat and fill will shrimp, tomatoes, avocados and the cilantro lime topping. You can pre make them all or set ingredients out on a table for everyone to help themselves.
