These tacos are a great change from standard ground beef tacos my kids get at our local taco chain restaurant. And they have quite a kick too!

How To Make shrimp diablo tacos

Step 1

Wrap tortillas in foil and place in 350 degrees oven to warm. Peel, devein & cut shrimp into bite size pieces then set aside.

Step 2

In large skillet add 2T canola or olive oil, onions & bell peppers saute until softened 2 minutes.
Step 3

Add minced garlic, chopped tomatoes with liquid, cumin, red pepper flake, garlic powder & 1/2 squeezed lime and let simmer for 10 minutes to reduce.
Step 4

Stir in shrimp, cabbage, cilantro & 1/2 finely chopped jalapeno and shut heat off. The shrimp will finish cooking in the hot tomato liquid. *Tip: I added 4oz. chopped imitation crab meat to these and it turned out great.
Step 5

Build tacos by adding the shrimp filling to a soft shell tortilla and top with a squeeze of lime juice, shredded cheese & sour cream & jalapeno slices. These are a bit spicy but you can reduce the heat by eliminating part of the red pepper flake and/or jalapenos.
