#SundaySupper: Shrimp Tacos

#SundaySupper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back supper around the family table in every home.  This week the theme is Mexican fiesta.

I love shrimp and I love tacos, but I had never had shrimp tacos.  I was a little apprehensive, but when I received this recipe from one of my foodie pen pals I had to try it.  And this round up seemed like a great time to experiment with the recipe.

This was so easy to make.  All you do is mix everything up and then heat it up, for about 5 minutes, then you are done.  No complaints here!  This will probably be a recipe that I start to make on a regular basis.

I made the salsa earlier this summer.  It worked really great with these tacos.  I am really happy with how that salsa turned out.  I will have to make a bigger batch next year.

Shrimp Tacos

This recipe is adapted from Scarborough Food Fair.

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• some cilantro
• flour tortillas
• toppings as you desire; salsa, cheese, onions, tomatoes, etc

Directions

1. Prepare shrimp by combining the garlic, lime juice, cumin, cayenne, and olive oil with the shrimp and let marinate for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Cook the shrimp on a skillet until both sides are cooked.  This only takes a few minutes.

3. Warm tortillas and assemble tacos.  Enjoy!!!
