1 pound (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 small tortillas
Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sour cream, lime wedges
Preparation
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning until they are well coated. The Cajun seasoning will add a spicy and flavorful kick to the shrimp.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave. This step makes the tortillas soft and pliable for easy folding.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few shrimp on each tortilla. The number of shrimp per taco depends on your preference and the size of the tortillas.
Add your desired toppings to the tacos. Some popular choices include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sour cream. These toppings provide a fresh and creamy contrast to the spicy shrimp.
Squeeze lime juice over the tacos before serving. The tanginess of the lime juice enhances the flavors and adds a refreshing element to the tacos.
Serve the Spicy Cajun Shrimp Tacos immediately, allowing everyone to customize their tacos with additional toppings or sauces if desired.
Enjoy your Spicy Cajun Shrimp Tacos! The combination of the Cajun-spiced shrimp with the fresh toppings and warm tortillas creates a vibrant and flavorful taco experience.
