Puerto Rican Shrimp Tacos Recipes

PUERTO RICAN SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry, dice into pieces and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with the Sazon spice packet and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and set to the side while you continue to prep.
• In a medium deep skillet heat some olive oil. Once hot, add onion, salt, pepper and sauté until tender, about 5 min. Add garlic and sauté another minute. Drain tomatoes and add to the skillet and season with a little more salt and pepper. Cook on medium-low for about 10 minutes. After 10 mins of cooking add the diced shrimp and stir to combine. Remove from heat after 5 minutes. Shrimp cook very fast, be careful not to overcook it.
• Prep your toppings. Slice cabbage, and avocados if using.
• Warm the tortillas. You can wrap them in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for a few seconds or place in a hot, dry skillet until tortillas start to brown.
• Assemble the tacos, I like to put the lettuce, cabbage, etc. on the bottom and shrimp on the top.
• serve with extra limes on the side.
• Add all of the ingredients into a food processor or blender (or place in a deep bowl and use an emulsion blender) and mix until smooth. If it's a little too thick add a little more lime juice or olive oil until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Steps:

• Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes and a generous pinch of salt and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the wine, tomatoes, capers and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the shrimp and cook until opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lime juice and cilantro and remove the bay leaves. Serve with the rice and more lime juice and cilantro.
