Jalapeno Maple Lime Shrimp Tacos


  • Author: Leora Ellingson

Description

Can you ever have too many shrimp taco combinations?  This one hits all the right notes with the symphony of sweet, tangy, heat, and spice.  The shrimp are tender, juicy, and soak up the sauce.  I bet you can’t eat just one…………but honestly, who has ever been able to do that?

 


Ingredients

Olive oil

½ red onion, minced

Salt and pepper

1 jalapeno, minced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup basil, chiffonade

3 limes, juiced

¼ – 1/3 cup maple syrup

1 lb shrimp

Cilantro, chopped

Corn tortillas

Cotija cheese

Green cabbage, shredded

Red onions, thinly sliced


Instructions

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat.  Add red onion, salt and pepper, jalapeno, garlic, basil, lime juice, and maple syrup, and cook until the onion begins to soften.  Add the shrimp, and saute until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes each side.

Serve with heated corn tortillas, cotija cheese, cabbage and red onions and top with cilantro.
