Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos


These are super easy and tasty! Adding the lime to the chipotle shrimp really kicks this dish up a notch! My family love shrimp taco night!
 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 3/4 tsp chili powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 pkg small flour taco size tortillas (you can use corn tortillas if you prefer)
1 lime zested and juiced
juice from 1 lime
cilantro, fresh
1 sm tomato,
diced sour cream (optional)
salsa (optional)
lettuce (optional)

Directions:

1) Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; add shrimp, tossing to coat.







2) Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp mixture to pan add the juice and sprinkle zest on top, mix; cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from heat.



3) Heat tortillas in microwave according to package directions. Place tortillas on each plate; arrange shrimp on each tortilla. Top each tortilla with chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. I also enjoy a dollop of sour cream and salsa.
