California Shrimp Tacos With Corn Salsa Recipes

SWEET CORN AND SHRIMP TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sweet corn slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the corn, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, paprika, lime zest and juice, mayonnaise, crema, and cotija cheese. Toss until well combined.
• Make the shrimp tacos: In a medium bowl, combine the red cabbage, juice of 1 lime, and ½ teaspoon salt. Toss until well combined and set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, oregano, chili powder, cumin, garlic, lime zest, remaining lime juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil until well coated.
• Heat the remaining 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the tortillas until lightly crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and cover with foil to keep warm until ready to assemble the tacos.
• In the same skillet, cook the shrimp, 8-10 at a time, until pink and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Assemble the tacos: Top each crispy tortilla with some of the red cabbage, sweet corn slaw, and shrimp. Garnish with cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

CALIFORNIA SHRIMP TACOS WITH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. In another small bowl, combine the guacamole and salad dressing.
• In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the chili powder and Cajun seasoning. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, sauté the shrimp until pink, about 5 minutes.
• Place 2 shrimp in each taco shell. Top with 1/3 cup of the corn salsa and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the guacamole mixture.

SHRIMP-AND-CORN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and corn; cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is heated through and tomatoes are soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately with tortillas, cabbage, salsa, sour cream, and lime wedges.

SHRIMP TACOS WITH WARM CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Salsa: Heat corn in a dry large nonstick skillet over high heat and cook, tossing corn frequently, 4 minutes or until lightly charred in spots. Add tomatoes and onions; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Keep salsa warm.
• Tacos: Stack tortillas and warp in damp paper towels. Place in microwave.
• Heat oil, garlic, and cumin in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, salt, pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes, tossing several times until shrimp are firm and cooked through; remove from heat and toss with lime juice.
• While shrimp cook, steam tortillas in microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until softened. Fill each tortilla with 6 or 7 shrimp and top with warm corn salsa and diced avocados.
• Note: If you have difficulty finding the can of fire roasted tomatoes, I have substituted that for a can of regular tomatoes and added seeded, diced jalapeños and a small can of chipotle peppers.
