Chipotle Shrimp Tacos
These Chipotle Shrimp Tacos bring a smoky, spicy kick to your table in just 30 minutes. Juicy shrimp, marinated in a bold chipotle blend, are perfectly seared for a tender bite.
Equipment
- food processor
- skillet
Ingredients
chipotle sauce
- 2-3 chipotle peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo
- ¼ cup mayo, Kewpie or any kind
- ½ cup silken tofu
- splash of honey (or agave)
- salt & pepper
- squeezes of lime
- splash of rice vinegar, if you make yours too spicy by accident
for the tacos
- 2-3 raw shrimp per taco (or sliced portobello mushrooms for a veggie version)
- olive oil
- minced garlic
- salt, pepper
- shredded napa cabbage
- a few thinly sliced radishes
- chopped cilantro
- avocado slices
- a few limes
- tortillas (corn or flour)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the chipotle sauce in a food processor. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more chipotle peppers for more flavor/spice, more mayo to make it richer, or more tofu to mellow it out. Chill until ready to serve.
- Season the raw shrimp with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over med-high heat. When the oil is starting to bubble, add shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
- When the shrimp is almost done, add the minced garlic and give the pan a good shake (I find that my garlic burns if I add it earlier).
- Add a few squeezes of lime and remove shrimp from the pan.
- Assemble tacos with shrimp, raw veggies, spoonfuls of the chipotle sauce, and extra limes.
