Honey Paprika Shrimp Tacos ๐ฎ๐ค๐ฅ paired with fresh guacamole and a creamy coleslaw with sumac, green onions and dill! I served these on grilled yellow corn tortillas with a side of hearty rice and pinto beans and a no-bake cheesecake with a sweet and tart strawberry coulis! It was the perfect Friday night at-home dinner. Grab the recipe deets below ๐๐ผ
Shrimp & Base Marinade Ingredients
1 bag of fresh or frozen (thawed) shrimp ~ 1 pound
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 Tbsp of honey (runny, low viscosity)
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry coriander
sea salt and pepper, to taste
Honey Lime Vinaigrette *use 1/2 to baste the shrimp as theyโre grilling, and 1/2 to coat them post grill and right before serving!
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
2.5 Tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Method
Clean the shrimp: devein them (make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp) as to pull out the black vein. Also, donโt forget to peel them or simply tug gently on the tail to remove the outer shell.
In a medium bowl: coat shrimp in olive oil, smoked paprika, honey, garlic powder, dry coriander, lime juice, sea salt and pepper and toss. Allow it to sit and soak marinade for 10 mins. (Get the grill ready and warm, in the interim).
Place the shrimp on the hot grill (or pan) and grill (or sautรฉ) on each side for ~3 mins. Baste generously with honey lime vinaigrette when flipping. Remove from the heat and drizzle desired amount of remaining vinaigrette right before serving. Any leftover vinaigrette amounts may be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and is great for coating grilled zucchini or bell peppers.
enjoy every taco bite!
