How To Make chipotle lime shrimp tacos

Step 1

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

Step 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.
Step 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.
