Ingredients

For the shrimp marinade:
  • 2 pounds Argentinian red shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
For the tacos:
  • 16 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sliced avocado
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • ¼ cup hot sauce

Equipment

  • Large bowl for the shrimp marinade
  • Grill or large skillet for cooking the shrimp
  • Skillet or griddle for warming the tortillas

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to make the shrimp marinade.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined Argentinian red shrimp to the marinade, making sure to coat each shrimp well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sauté the shrimp until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle until they are soft and pliable.
  5. Place a few shrimp on each tortilla and top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
  6. Serve the tacos hot and enjoy!
