Light and flavorful grilled shrimp tacos marinated in chili-lime spices, served with a creamy avocado sauce and your favorite toppings.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator (or up to 30 minutes).
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the avocado crema. In a food processor or blender, combine the avocados, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little water if needed to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers (optional, but it makes grilling easier) or place them directly on the grill grates.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through.
Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions or on a dry skillet.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with grilled shrimp, a generous dollop of avocado crema, and your favorite toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Nutrition per serving (250g)
Don't over-marinate the shrimp, as the lime juice can start to cook them.
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika to the chili-lime marinade.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium-high heat.
The avocado crema can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the crema if you want a little heat.
