Argentinian Grilled Shrimp Tacos

Cook Time7 minutes
Total Time47 minutes
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 6 mini tortillas
Calories: 100kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Argentinian wild shrimp or other jumbo shrimp uncooked, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle
  • shredded lettuce or cabbage for garnish optional
  • Lime Crema for garnish optional
  • Lime wedges for garnish optional
  • 6 mini tortillas about 4 ½"

Instructions

  • Preheat the BBQ.
  • Rinse and pat the shrimp dry.
  • Mix cornstarch and chipotle in a sealable bag that will hold all the shrimp. Toss the shrimp to coat them.
  • Let the shrimp sit in the fridge about 30 minutes. This helps the coating adhere well. (You can do this well ahead of time if you like).
  • BBQ shrimp over medium heat until opaque. Do not over cook. Mine took about 7 minutes for large shrimp.
  • Warm tortillas on the grill.
  • Rough chop the shrimp and divided them among the tortillas.
  • Serve with Lime Crema, Pico de Gallo or condiments of your choice.
