I LOVE TACOS! My shrimp taco recipe is overdue. I am excited to share with you my “secret” ingredient. So I use a Berbere spice mix! Berbere is a hot pepper seasoning used in many Ethiopian dishes. I think it adds a unique kick to the dish. Plus I like blending different cultural flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp Berbere
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and Pepper TT

For taco assembly:

  • Corn tortillas
  • Chopped Cilantro
  • Avocado
  • Radishes
  • Salsa
  • Red onion
  • Feta Cheese

Instructions:

Devein and remove the tail of shrimp

In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the seasonings. Coat shrimp with mixture. I like to coat it all in a zip loc bag
(I added a tsp of liquid smoke for the first time). Place to the side.

In a skillet or nonstick grill pan lightly heat garlic in oil

Add seasoned shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat.

Once shrimp is done cooking, you are ready to assemble your tacos. I used radishes, avocado, salsa, cilantro, and feta cheese. (I slightly brown corn tortillas before assembling)

optional drizzle with freshly squeezed lime. ENJOY!
