Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

Preparation Instructions:

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the prepared Green Chimichurri. Let it marinade for 10–15 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink, lightly golden, and just cooked through. Remove from heat.

Toast tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a flame for a bit of char and softness.

Layer each tortilla with shredded cabbage, a few shrimp, and slices of avocado.

Drizzle generously with more prepared Green Chimichurri. Add a dollop of crema if you like, and a squeeze of fresh lime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the chimichurri ahead of time?

Yes—preparing it a few hours in advance (or even the day before) allows the flavors to meld and deepen beautifully.

What kind of shrimp works best?

Medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined, cook quickly and stay juicy, making them ideal for tacos.

Are there good substitutions for shrimp?

Absolutely—grilled chicken, fish, or even roasted vegetables pair wonderfully with chimichurri.

How can I adjust the flavor to my taste?

Tweak the acidity with more or less vinegar, add chili flakes for heat, or increase garlic for a bolder punch.
