Shrimp Tacos with Corn Tortillas

Shrimp tacos with corn tortillas, made with shrimp seasoned in chili powder, cumin and garlic and topped with lettuce, tomatoes and cilantro yogurt sauce. A fresh, quick dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 Tbs snipped and finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 14 oz peeled raw shrimp rinsed and dried
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 8 6- inch corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup tomatoes diced

Instructions

  • In small bowl, stir together plain yogurt and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a medium size bowl, mix shrimp, chili powder, cumin, and garlic. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shrimp to pan. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes ONLY until shrimp are pink. Cooking longer will make shrimp too tough and chewy. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, warm corn tortillas.
