These spicy tacos are the kind of easy spicy food that is great during treatment to blast away a chemo impaired palate. Marinating the shrimp in this citrusy mix of lemon zest and juice... stirred into a liberal quantity of minced jalapeños, garlic and cilantro, turns these utterly simple and delicious tacos into a seafood fiesta for the tastebuds. Leave them in the marinade for 20 minutes and they’ll taste even better if that’s at all possible.
In a large bowl, combine jalapeños, ¼ cup cilantro, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and stir until coated.
Place a sauté pan over medium heat and add remaining oil. Add shrimp and cook for about 10 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink. Remove from heat.
In a dry sauté pan over medium low heat, place one tortilla at a time in the pan to heat through.
Place a portion of shrimp onto each tortilla. Garnish with remaining cilantro and red onion.
Chef Tips
This is also delicious made with Tilapia! If you want to cut down a little on the heat, deseed and devein the jalapeños before mincing.
