Shrimp Tacos

For years I have been going to a taco restaurant in my town called Bar Taco. Whenever I go there I get a shrimp taco! About a week ago I was talking to someone about food and she said that her granddaughter made these amazing soft tacos. I said to her, "that would be an amazing blog post!" After this conversation I was thinking about what type of taco to make and the Bar Taco shrimp tacos came to mind. Instead of copying their recipe I decided to add an asian twist by adding a little lime, and soy sauce to counteract the spice. I hope you enjoy my shrimp taco recipe!

Ingredients:
6 small flour tortillas
1 pound shrimp
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 of a lime (juiced)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt

First, remove the shells and the tail from the shrimp and cut into small thirds. Place the shrimp in a ziplock bag and add the garlic, brown sugar, chili powder, lime juice, red pepper flakes, olive oil, soy sauce, and salt. Shake the bag until the shrimp are completely covered. Let this sit for 20-30 minutes to marinate. Once marinated cook the shrimp in a pan for about 2 minutes per side or until fully cooked.

Heat the tortillas in a cast iron pan for about 2 minutes per side or until they start to brown. Once they are cooked add the shrimp to the tortillas and top with some guacamole and cotija cheese.

Serve and enjoy!
