INSTRUCTIONS.//

• Step 1: Marinate the Shrimp

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and place them into a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, shallots, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to combine and set aside to stand for 10 minutes. This allows the shrimp to absorb all the smoky and spicy flavors.

• Step 2: Prepare the Salsa

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the avocado and mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, mango, jalapeño, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly mixed. Set aside.

• Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp mixture and arrange it in a single layer. Cook the shrimps for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they become opaque and slightly charred. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate.

• Step 4: Make the Lime Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and finely chopped cilantro. Mix well until smooth. This sauce adds a creamy and tangy touch that balances the heat from the shrimp.

• Step 5: Assemble the Tacos

To assemble your tacos, start by spreading a light layer of lime sauce on each warm tortilla. Top with a generous portion of chipotle shrimp, and then spoon over the avocado mango salsa. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with additional sauce and sprinkle with more cilantro, if desired.

Storage Tips

• Shrimp: Refrigerate leftover shrimp in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

• Sauce and Salsa: Store the leftover lime sauce and salsa separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Bon Appétit!
