Step 1: Season the Shrimp
Start by preparing the shrimp. Season them generously with Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, and a hint of garlic powder. Ensure each shrimp is coated evenly with the seasoning mixture. Set the seasoned shrimp aside while you prepare the other components.
Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics
Add half of the tomatoes, cilantro, and chopped onions to the heated skillet. Let them gently cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly. This will create a flavorful base for your shrimp tacos.
Step 4: Cook the Shrimp
Once the aromatics have softened slightly, carefully add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook them for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. The shrimp should turn opaque and develop a beautiful golden hue when they’re ready.
Step 5: Prepare the Guacamole
While the shrimp are cooking, take this time to prepare the guacamole. Mash the avocados in a bowl and mix them with the remaining chopped onion, cilantro, and diced tomatoes. Add shredded green onion, lime juice, onion powder, and salt to taste. Mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
Step 6: Warm the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, warm the white corn tortillas until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can heat them in the microwave for a few seconds. Be cautious when handling them as they may be hot.
Step 7: Assemble the Tacos
To assemble the tacos, spoon a generous amount of guacamole onto each warmed tortilla. Top it with the cooked shrimp, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of shredded Mexican cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
- Use fresh and high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the spice levels to your preference by adding more or less chili powder and garlic powder.
- Experiment with different cheeses such as cotija or queso fresco for varied taste profiles.
- For a healthier twist, opt for whole wheat or grain-free tortillas instead of white corn tortillas.
- Add a splash of tequila or lime juice to the marinade for an extra layer of citrusy flavor.
